Question

Political equations in coalition governments are unstable. How was this concept reflected in the formation of National Front Government in 1989 and United Front Government in 1996?

Answer 1

In 1989, to keep Congress out of power, both Left and BJP supported the National Front Government. In 1996, the Left continued to support the non-Congress government, but this time, the Congress supported it, as both Congress and Left wanted to keep the BJP out of power. This showed the instability of the political equations in coalition governments.
