Congress System
multi-party system on one hand and one-party system on another. The principle applied in
the two opposite phenomena is the ‘choice between alternatives. The two-party system
provides this choice so does the multi-party system though in a complicated way whereas
one party system does not provide this choice. The availability of multiple parties and
freedom to form gives an impression of similarity as well as common heritage between India
and West but there are two noted differences at the outset. The choice between
alternatives and subsidiary role of party organisation were not prevalent during one party
dominance in India. The study of the ‘one- party dominance’ in India would be divided into
five parts:
A) Features of the dominance of one party in India
B) Development of the ‘Congress’ system in India
C) Achievements of the Congress
D) The Rise of New Avatar of One-Party Dominance
E) The newness of the BJP party
Conclusion
The congress dominance provides comprehensive mechanism of change with the help of
factions, a system of conflict articulation and resolution through the operation of inside and
outside margin groups, and setting a communication between the party and community.
Indeed, there were several problems too but rather worked so well. On the other hand, the
BJP as a cadre-based party and new reforms along with personality of Narendra Modi led to
qualitive changes in the country in the future.
