What is the difference between a national party and a state party?
Answer:
There are three major differences between a national party and regional/state party:
- National parties have influence all over the country or in several states of India. The influence of a state party is limited to a state or region.
- National parties take interest in national as well as international issues; whereas regional or state parties are interested in promoting regional/state interest only.
- The national parties have to harmonise the national as well as state interests; whereas state parties usually stand for greater autonomy for states.
