Subject: Polity
Book: Indian Polity by M. Laxmikanth
A hallmark of multi-party systems where no single party secures a majority, necessitating post-poll alliances. Common at both central and state levels since the late 1980s, coalitions require compromise on ideological stances to form a common minimum program. While coalition politics fosters inclusivity, giving regional parties a national voice, it can lead to instability if alliances are fragile. Negotiations over ministerial berths and policy directions become crucial. Notable successes include stable alliances that passed key economic reforms, while frequent realignments can hamper governance. Coalitions underscore the diversity of Indian polity, balancing majority rule with minority representation in parliamentary democracy.
