The following changes were seen in the party system in India:
Indian- National Congress was the only dominant party in states and at the centre after independence.
All other parties came together and formed a coalition in 1977 and defeated the Congress.
For the first time in history, the two-party system got importance over one-party system.
The one-party system came to an end after the 1989 elections.
Regional parties got importance and the coalition government was formed at the centre and in the states.
