భారతదేశ ఎన్నికల వ్యవస్థ: కూర్పుల మధ్య తేడాలు

 

==రాజకీయ పార్టీల చరిత్ర==

 

In 1992, the heretofore one-party-dominant politics in India gave way to a [[coalition government|coalition system]] wherein no single party can expect to achieve a majority in the Parliament to form a government, but rather has to depend on a process of coalition building with other parties to form a block and claim a majority to be invited to form the government. This has been a consequence of strong regional parties which ride on the back of regional aspirations. While parties like the TDP and the DMK had traditionally been strong regional contenders, the 1990s saw the emergence of other regional players such as the Lok Dal, Samajwadi Party, Bahujan Samaj Party and Janta Dal. These parties are traditionally based on regional aspirations, e.g. Telengana Rastra Samiti or strongly influenced by caste considerations, e.g. Bahujan Samaj Party which claims to represent the Dalits.
