Coalition politics or multi party system where there is no single party in majority has become a trend in Indian political arena since 1989.It paved ways to regional aspirations. People have fractured mandates so any ruling party have to be representative of all the member parties. As there is power sharing , different views of different coalition parties have to be accommodated leading to delay decisions e.g long delay of bills like civil nuclear liability. Coalition politics though representing regional character better , often leads to unstable government ,increase horse trading ,more corruption.
