Often a single party fails to secure majority on its own after an election and may not be able to form of government in a multi-party system. In such a case, some Parties join together to form a government. Such a government is called coalition government. Generally, a party which gets majority votes lead the coalition. Before joining the coalition, parties hold discussions and agree upon a common programme.

Before joining the coalition, parties hold discussions and agree upon a common programme. In India, the first coalition government was formed in 1977 by the Janata Party. Consequently, the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) led by the BJP formed a government at the centre in 1999. From 2004-2014, the Indian National Congress lead coalition called the United Progressive Alliance formed the government at the centre.

Answer 2

Answer:

A coalition government is a form of government in which political parties cooperate to form a government. The usual reason for such an arrangement is that no single party has achieved an absolute majority after an election. A coalition government might also be created in a time of national difficulty or crisis (for example, during wartime or economic crisis) to, give a government the high degree of perceived political legitimacy or collective identity, it can also play a role in diminishing internal political strife. In such times, parties have formed all-party coalitions (national unity governments, grand coalitions). If a coalition collapses, a confidence vote is held or a motion of no confidence is taken.
