Answers
Answer:
A dominant-party system, or one-party dominant system is a political system in which opposition groups or parties are permitted, but a single party dominates election results.
One party dominance refers to the Congress dominance in the post-independence era both in national and state legislatures. It is not an undemocratic situation rather other parties also contest in elections but unable to win enough seats to challenge Congress. This dominance is characterized both in terms of elections and also in terms of ideology.
After independence congress managed to win election after election. No other party was capable enough to challenge the dominance of Congress.
Its dominance was not only limited at the centre but extended to states as well. It formed governments in most of the states, especially the northern states.
