Political parties and elections play an important role in the analysis of politics in democracy.
Elections are the best method to test the legitimacy of a political system. Constitution of India
makes it clear that legislature and executive authority of the federal system has been placed in
the hands of representatives of the people chosen by means of free and fair elections. Indian
politics represents the spectacle of a multiparty system on the surface; but for long periods of modern
India's electoral history, it has been characterized by "one dominant party system" with congress
occupying the center stage. Since 1970s Indian party system has become highly competitive at center
as well as in the states and Himachal Pradesh is no exception to this. From 1948 to present time
Himachal Pradesh state politics saw many changes. Present paper describes the performance of
political parties in different assembly elections, voters’ loyalty, bases of support of political parties,
place of political leaders and Impact of caste and class on state politics in Himachal Pradesh and the
study is based on secondary sources such as books, journal and election reports etc.
