How are literally hundreds of political parties existing and contesting elections in India? What case will the government slap on you if you want to canvass for an opposition, start a political party or contest elections?

You can see the difference in how legal system treats you based on if you are from ruling party or opposition.

The prime minister of India is accused of using a fake degree.

See the difference when Indian PM Modi is accused of fake degree:

Nice try. None of the cases filed are for forming a political party or participating in democratic exercises. They range from criminal cases to defamation. The "newly formed" political party has been in power in Delhi since 2015 and has won the last two state elections. You are proving my point.

Of course they will not directly file a charge against you for forming a political party. But they will find other ways.

Actually they did filed cases against students for protesting against government.
