Is the Coalition Government a Success Story in the Indian Politics?

Abstract

A coalition government is a type of government where political parties meet up on their own drive to frame a government. The most frequently cited reason for this course of action is that no single political party has ever won a clear majority of the vote following an election. Alliances are most often framed in current parliaments when no single political party can get a majority of votes. It is feasible for at least two political parties, each with an adequate number of elected individuals to shape a majority, to settle on a typical programme that doesn't need an excessive number of extraordinary concessions from their singular arrangements, and afterward continue to frame a government. A coalition government goes about as a channel for measuring up to the assumptions and settling the grievances of different constituencies. On the other hand, the coalition is referred to as unstable or prone to instability. The coalition members' divergences of opinion ultimately result in the collapse of the government's coalition. The National Democratic Alliance (NDA), led by Atal Bihari Vajpayee, was India's first successful coalition government; lasting the entirety of its five-year term (1999–2004). There is a raging debate going on right now about this topic. So, the study tries to find out whether or not the coalition government in India has been a success in the world of politics.
