UP Board Class 10 Social Science – Political Parties
The chapter “Political Parties” explains the important role played by political parties in a democracy. A political party is a group of people who come together to contest elections and form the government. Parties reflect different views and interests in society. They provide people with an opportunity to choose leaders who represent their needs.
India has a multi-party system, where national parties like Indian National Congress and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), along with various state parties, participate in elections. Political parties perform key functions such as contesting elections, forming policies, making laws, and providing public services.
However, parties also face challenges such as corruption, money power, and lack of internal democracy. The chapter encourages students to think about how political parties can become more transparent and accountable.
