The statement "Stabilization of the Congress dominance system" does NOT characterize electoral politics in India today. The era of Congress dominance, which characterized Indian politics in the first few decades after independence, has significantly declined since the late 1960s and especially after the 1990s. Indian politics today is marked by a multi-party system and coalition governments at both the national and state levels, reflecting increased fragmentation and competition among political parties. Additionally, there has been an increase in the scope of electoral choices for voters due to the presence of numerous national, regional, and local parties.
