Squeezing base of Indian National Parties

Dates announced by the Election Commission of India for the 15Th Lok Sabha Elections and surprisingly first time ever in the history of India’s two major National parties by name Bhartiya Janta Party and Indian National Congress which were major parties of National Democratic Alliance (NDA) and United Progressive Alliance (UPA) respectively of general Election held in the year of 1999 and year 2004 and Govern India for five years terms, facing very hard time even with the regional parties which were part of N.D.A. and U.P.A. on seat sharing in different part of Countries.
After Independence first time general election held in India in the year of 1951 and Indian National Congress won 364 seats and rule India for five years without need of any other party help and this trend to rule India without any party help continue in the following general elections in the year 1957 (seats won by Indian National Congress 371 ) , 1962 (seats won by Indian National Congress 361) , 1967(seats won by Indian National Congress 283 ) ,1971(seats won by Indian National Congress 352) ,first time after Independence in the general election held in the year 1977 Bhartiya Lok dal /Janta Party won 295 seats and Indian national congress taste defeat and was opposition party in the lok Sabha ,but combines rule only for three years and 1980 general election Indian National Congress again comes in power after winning 353 seats ,then after the assassination of Smt.Indira Gandhi Indian National Congress under the leadership of Sh.Rajiv Gandhi in the general election held in the year 1984 congress won 404 seats and it was first time that Indian National Congress till date these are highest number of seats ever won by any party or alliance .1989 general election mandate was fractured and thus it had period of two years only.1991 general election Indian National Congress won 266 seats and with help of other party rule India for five years term in office, and then begin the period of rule India with alliances it started from 1996 general election when Bhartiya Janta party was largest party but short of majority and after getting support of other parties rule India for thirteen months time but because of differences among their alliance partner it only had period of year and one month, then in 1998 again despite being largest party unable to get the support of other parties and touch the magic figure of 272 failed to prove majority in the house, India again in the year 1999 went for poll Bhartiya Janta Party form N.D.A. and rule India for five years, then in the year 2004 general election Indian National Congress won 145 seats and with the support of regional Parties form UPA and completed its term 2009.
Now for 15th Lok Sabha when date announced Indian National Congress and Bhartiya Janta Party both parties were hopeful that under their respective alliance with regional parties they will be able to defeat other alliance in fifteenth Lok Sabha ,but after the announcement of dates now after every passing day news are coming in that regional parties ignoring both National parties and they are looking for their interest in the states and leaving very few seats for big brother resulting confrontation .To begin with Indian National Congress in Uttar Pradesh Samajwadi Party out of 80 Lok Sabha seats ready to give only seven seats, then came the news from Bihar state where total 40 number of Lok Sabha seats there regional party of railway minister Mr.Lalu Prasad Yadav and Mr. Ram Vilas Paswan after reaching an agreement left three seats for Congress and share 25 and 12 seats respectively for their parties, then in Maharashtra Rashtriya Congress Party whose head is Mr.Sharad Yadav even they were claiming for Prime Minster Post also but when it saw that after developments in Uttar Pradesh Indian National Congress announced 24 candidates and in Bihar not only Indian National Congress took decision to give tickets to 26 candidates plus also in Jharkhand states for total 12 seats Indian National Congress alliance with shibu suren party and not left single seat to Mr.Lalu Party . Problem faced by Bhartiya Janta Party is that in Orissa Biju Janta dal exit from N.D.A. Telgu Desam Party also exit from N.D.A., in Maharashtra Bhartiya Janta Party have not good understanding with Shiv Sena, even their party office bearers like Mr. Arun Jaitley and Mr.Rajnath Singh have not best of relation because of appointment of Mr.Sadanshu Mittal.Everybody considering Election time to take maximum personnel advantages even from their own parties and alliance.
It is quite clear if regional parties increase their seats base then after election at the time of forming government then they will demand more from their big brother, considering this Indian National Congress despite statement by Samajwadi Party that if needed after election they will support congress and Mr.Lalu and Mr. Ram Vilas Paswan said they are still part of UPA., but oversighting it and take decision to fight at its won in these states.
