Examine the impact of Regional Political Parties in Indian Politics?
(Question in GS Paper – I CS Mains Exam, 2008 )
Some Points:
1)India had about a single party political system till 1967, Congress (INR) dominated it. Even states were ruled by Congress.
2)But regional parties came into picture after 1967. They gained some powers in their regions.
3)But it was only in 1980s when regional parties participated in centre's coalition government also.
4)Ssometimes central government and state governments have different parties.
5)Similarly coalition governments have many a time proved to short-lived. This resulted in mid-term polls many a times.
6)Congress lost its dominance as a result of this.
7)Many regional parties like TDP, RJD, Akali Dal, AIADMK, DMK, SP, BSP etc. started playing their influential role.
8)They started participating in government decision making.
9)Unlike earlier, now the regional parties made developmental works come to their states.
10)Whenever, central government is making policies it has to consider regional parties, which are their allies.
11)However, presence of regional parties in central government sometimes creating instability.
12)In short we can say that regional parties have increased importance of their regional on the one hand, and have increased stability on the other.
But somehow, India political system has become more democratic.
