Question

write the differences between regional party and national party

Answer 1

1. National party has influence all over the country or in many states of India. The influence of a regional party is limited to one state or a few regions.

2. National Parties deal with national interests whereas Regional Parties promote only the regional interests. The DMK for an instance poses to be the only custodian of the Dravidian culture. The Congress or the BJP look to the cultivation of Indian culture. The BJP had to drop certain items from its agenda for forming government as a national party at the centre in collaboration with allies.

3. Regional parties crave for more powers for their state and ask for more autonomy. The National Parties harmonies many conflicting regional interests and do not concede the demand if that amounts to a challenge to the National integrity and endangers its sovereignty.
