List Of Political Parties In India




Political parties in India lists Political Parties in India .
India has a Multi-party System with a predominance of small regional parties.
National parties are those that are recognized in four or more states. They are accorded this status by the Election Commission Of India , which periodically reviews the election results in various states. This recognition helps the political parties to claim unique ownership of certain identities, such as the Party Symbol , until the next review of their status. Below are national parties as per October 2004 .

The Constitution Of India stipulates that India be a federal polity with a central government in New Delhi , and state governments for the various states and Union territories. Consequently, political parties in India are classified as national and state (regional) parties based on their realms of influence. See List Of Recognised Political Parties In India

COALITIONS

Since 1990 , the Indian electorate has consistently thrown fragmented verdicts both at the state and national levels. This has led parties with small (and sometimes fundamental) ideological differences to come together as a loose federation of parties to stake claim for power. The following are coalitions of political parties in India.
