DOI: THE JOURNEY OF THE BHARATIYA JANATA PARTY-LED NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC ALLIANCE: A FEDERAL COALITION'S RISE AND FALL
Rashmi Shukla , Research Scholar, Center for Federal Studies, Jamia Hamdard University, New Delhi, IndiaAbstract
This research paper delves into the dynamic trajectory of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) as a federal coalition in the context of Indian politics. Over the years, the NDA has experienced both remarkable successes and significant challenges, making it a fascinating case study of coalition politics in a diverse and complex democracy like India. This study explores the factors that contributed to the NDA's rise to power, including the BJP's political strategies, the coalition's policy agenda, and its ability to forge alliances with regional parties. Additionally, it analyzes the critical junctures and internal and external factors that led to the NDA's eventual decline. By examining the intricacies of the NDA's journey, this paper sheds light on the broader implications of coalition governance on democratic values and political stability in India.
