While potentially debatable as the sole characterization, it captures the increased importance of regional parties. Statement II states that intensified competitive politics has changed the system from one primarily between national parties to one between alliances\/coalitions of national and state parties. This is an accurate description of the shift in Indian politics, especially since the late 20th century. This shift directly explains why regional (state) parties have become crucial players in national politics and elections, forming necessary components of national coalitions. Therefore, Statement II provides the underlying mechanism for the outcome described in Statement I.<br \/>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Statement I : The recent national election results in India are indicative of a transition towards a new region based multi-party system.
