Abstract: This research paper explores the political culture of Madhya Pradesh and examines the role of political parties in shaping it. The study highlights the contributions of both major national parties and regional parties in influencing political practices within the state. Special attention is given to the dominance of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) over the past two decades and politics and leadership strategies of Indian National Congress prior to 2000, which illustrate how political parties effectively manage elections. Additionally, the paper analyzes voter behavior and its impact on the state's political culture. The study also positions Madhya Pradesh as a central point for Indian political culture due to its cultural, geographical, and political significance, which directly influences broader Indian cultural and political dynamics. By focusing on the interplay between political parties and voter behavior, this paper provides a comprehensive understanding of the political landscape in Madhya Pradesh and its implications for Indian politics.
