Political Parties in India

Political parties in India are organized groups that compete to govern and shape the country's policies. They represent diverse ideologies, regions, and communities, reflecting India’s pluralistic society. Major parties like the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Indian National Congress (INC) dominate national politics, while many regional parties focus on local issues.
