Characteristics of party system in India

1. Multi-party system

2. Regional group growth

In terms of regional differences in India

Political leaders form one party at a time to achieve their own interests. They try hard to win more public opinion in elections by making many promises of regional development. A prime example of this is the joint cabinet formed by Atalibihari Bachpei in 1999.

3. Organizational weakness

Organizational weakness can be seen in India's political landscape.

The team in which there is a member in the field is active. Which later affects the public opinion in the elections. A team that works continuously and is active as a team. The team is trusted by millions.

Conflict is a disorder in Indian politics. Because here MLAs and MPs change parties from one party to another due to greed for various posts. Although the party change law is in place, it is unable to stop it completely.
