Describe the characteristics of Non-party political formations. |
|
Answer» The organisations have a voluntary nature. These voluntary organisations chose to remain outside party politics. They did not contest elections at the local or regional level and they did not support any political party directly. These organisations were called ‘non-party political formations’. With time, many of these organisations began to be funded by external agencies including international agencies. The participation of local initiatives weakened as a result of availability of external funds. The formations also function as pressure groups on the government and represent the views and demand of particular section of society. |
