Similarity in Pressure groups and Political parties → both raise demands: ensure effective policy making influence → to ensure various candidates groups demands are taken to policy corridor. Pressure groups trying to become political parties as -: (1) Want of power - JP movement led to formation of Janata party (2) Enhanced mobilization - India against Corruption led to Aam Aadmi Party formation.

Factors encouraging this transformation: (1) More chances of mobility - Use of Social Media increased popular support. Ex - Haryana CM housing Bigg Boss winner Bhojpu Vadar. (2) Change required - Arvind Kejriwal entered into active politics as he thought he will have to change system. (3) Democratized Democracy - Dynasty politics have become a thing of the past. (4) Resource mobilization - Ex - farmer mobilization gave leaders like Choudhary Charanjit Singh and Tikait. (5) Ideology - Presence of ideology makes it easier to enter parties. Ex - Swara Bharata entering SP. (6) Band of supporters - make it ideal to transform into a party. Thus, this recent shift highlights how democracy has decentralized in India entering other participation.
