Question
In spite of the decline of Congress dominance the Congress party continues to influence politics in the country. Do you agree? Give reasons.
Solution
The defeat of Congress Party in 1989 marked an end of Congress dominance over Indian Party System. But Congress continued to influence politics in country:
- Congress improved performance and came back to power after mid term elections in 1991.
- It also supported United Front government.
- In 1996, the left continued to support the non-Congress government but this time Congress supported it as both Congress and Left wanted to keep BJP out of power.
- Thus, Congress remained an important party and ruled country more than any other party even during the period since 1989. But it lost the kind of centrality it earlier enjoyed in the party system.
