On the one hand, there is multi-complexity in the definition of a regional political party. On the other, the word “regional” itself has a diverse and un-comprehensive idea that was previously used in a hazy manner. Concentrating on this facet is making an effort to investigate the cooperative methods that may be used to improve the clearly defined notion of regional political parties. On the other hand, the phrase “regional political party” is also utilized in a variety of different ways by a variety of different intellectuals and political elites. People interested in studying regional political parties will find it extremely challenging since there is no consistency in the worldwide issue. From this point of view, attempts are undertaken to redefine preconceived notions so that an acceptable concept and definition may be produced. The issue of regionalist parties is both fascinating and challenging; there is not much that they have in common. To a greater or lesser extent, this may be the case in another encounter when it identifies itself in distinct categories. In addition, it is problematic why such a party has created accentuation in the context of the rising trend of coalition politics. It is also questionable whether or not it stands against the unity and integrity of the state.
