Answer 1

State parties seeking National level Coalition :
Before general election of 2014, in three general elections no one national party was able to secure on its own a majority in Lok Sabha. With the result, the national parties were compelled to form alliances with state or regional parties.

This has contributed to the strengthening of federalism and democracy.
