Democracy is often considered as one of the most popular forms of government in the modern world. In this system, the people are considered as the primary source of power and are given the right to participate in the decision-making process of their country through elections. However, the role of Opposition parties in a democracy is equally important. A strong opposition can play a crucial role in maintaining the balance of power and ensuring accountability within a democratic system.
Weakest opposition in the history
The Indian National Congress, once the dominant political party in India, the party, which has governed India for much of its post-independence history, has been facing a decline in its electoral fortunes in recent years, leading to its marginalisation as a political force.
Reasons for this include its inability to articulate a clear and compelling political agenda, lack of organisational strength, and being out of touch with the changing political and social realities of the country. The party’s failure to address the concerns of the people and present a unified front against the ruling party have led to a loss of trust and support among the electorate, resulting in a decline in its electoral fortunes.
Role of opposition party
Opposition parties are essential in a democratic setup as they serve as a counterbalance to the ruling party. By providing a different perspective and opposing the policies of the ruling party, opposition parties can ensure that all sides of an issue are taken into consideration.

Opposition parties also play an important role in keeping the ruling party in check. A strong opposition can also bring to light any corrupt practices or wrongdoings by the ruling party. If a ruling party may be tempted to abuse its power and ignore the needs of the people then the strong Opposition parties can act as a deterrent, forcing the ruling party to reconsider its actions and be more responsive to the needs of the people. This can benefit the country as a whole, as the best policies are likely to emerge from a healthy competition between the ruling party and the opposition.
In order to regain its footing as a strong opposition, the Congress party must address these types of issues and present a compelling vision for the country that resonates with the people.
