The term ‘Congress System’ was coined by Rajni Kothari.

Rajni Kothari, a renowned Indian political scientist, used the term ‘Congress System’ to describe the period of dominance of the Indian National Congress party in India’s politics from independence until the late 1960s, where the Congress acted both as the ruling party and the main opposition within a broad coalition framework.

Rajni Kothari’s work provided a significant theoretical framework for understanding the nature of party politics and the state in India during this period. His book “Politics in India” (1970) elaborated on this concept.
