Question

Which party system is followed in India?
(A) National Party System
(B) Local party system
(C) Multiparty system
(D) None of these

Answer 1

Hint:
 Every country has one, two or more political parties to hold power in government and to make decisions for the welfare of the country. A political party is a group of people who come together to share political views and contest elections to try to hold power in the government. The members of the political parties come to a decision regarding some policies and programmes for the society with a view of welfare.

Complete solution:
Every party needs to be registered by the Election Commission of India(EC) whether political parties wish to contest local, state or National.

Option(A): National Party System- Some parties in the countrywide which are called ‘National Parties’ have their units in most states. But all these units follow the same policies, programmes, rules that are decided at the national level. Every party in the country must register with the election commission.
Name of some National Parties are:
Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP)
All India Trinamool Congress (AITC)
Communist Party of India (CPI)
Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)
Indian National Congress (INC
Nationalist Congress Party (NCP)
This option is partially correct because in India we have National parties that rule. Many of these parties are in power in different states. Therefore option(A) is incorrect.

Option(B): Local party system- This option is clearly incorrect because as we discussed above in India we have National parties that rule. Many of these parties are in power in different states. Therefore option(B) is incorrect.

Option(C): Multiparty system- India follows a multi-party system and has multiple political parties. This kind of system provides people with multiple options to choose from. Multi-party is a system in which many parties come across the country run for a national election and compete with each other to win political power. Some examples of countries that are having Multi parties are Spain, Denmark, Germany etc.

Option(D): None of these- The answer is clearly stated above therefore, option(D) is correct.


Hence, the correct answer is option C.

Note:
 India follows a multi-party system and has multiple political parties. This kind of system provides people with multiple options to choose from. Multi-party is a system in which many parties come across the country run for a national election and compete with each other to win political power.
