Explanation:

• Multi-Party System: The continental size of the country, the diversified character of Indian society, the adoption of universal adult franchise, the peculiar type of political process, and other factors have given rise to a large number of political parties. India has very diverse multi party political system. As on April 13, 2018 there are three types of political parties in India i.e. seven national parties, over 50 state recognized parties and 2044 registered unrecognised parties.

• Parties are organized around eminent leaders: Quite often, the parties are organised around an eminent leader who becomes more important than the party and its ideology. Parties are known by their leaders rather than by their manifesto. For example the AIADMK.

• Emergence of Regional Parties. Several regional parties like the AIADMK, DMK, SAD etc. have emerged that play an important role in electoral politics. • Hence, all statements are correct.
