Rajni Kothari's terms "Party of Consensus" and "Parties of Pressure" explain the unique nature of Indian politics, particularly during the dominance of the Indian National Congress post-independence.
The "Party of Consensus" refers to the Congress, which acted as a broad-based, inclusive organization capable of representing diverse interests across the social, regional, and ideological spectrum. Kothari viewed the Congress not merely as a political party but as a platform for negotiation, absorbing various interests and building consensus among different social groups. This allowed the Congress to maintain political hegemony while fostering democratic processes.
In contrast, "Parties of Pressure" represented the smaller, opposition parties that were unable to directly challenge the Congress’s dominance but exerted pressure on it to address specific issues or represent sectional interests. These parties often functioned as critics or challengers from the periphery, influencing policy-making and acting as forces of accountability, but without threatening the overall dominance of the Congress.
