Leave the multi-party system of India and other countries.

Even in USA, where the contest is clearly polarised between Democratic and Republican parties, there are many other parties that contest the elections and garner votes.

The Libertarian Party was founded on December 11, 1972.[71] As of March 2021, it is the largest third party in the United States, claiming nearly 700,000 registered voters across 28 states and the District of Columbia.[72] As of August 2022, it has 309 local elected officials, and one state representative:

There are many other multi-state parties and single state parties.

More surprises awaits, if we check the number of political parties in China, where one-party rule is there. There are eight other political parties are functioning and they represent people in the Parliament etc.

Ours is a country with more diversity. Hence, we have more political parties too.
