After the 1991 General Election Indian National Parties seat base shrink drastically and the time of one party rule over as in the following General Election National Parties start making alliance with state parties which was started by Bhartiya Janta party by making National Democratic Alliance (N.D.A.) at the time of General Elections 1996 , 1998 and 1999 and rule in India, then in 2004 General Election after the result declared Indian National Congress with regional Parties make United Progressive Alliance (U.P.A.) to keep away BJP out of rule and Govern India for five years.
Seeing Importance state level parties now do lot of bargaining before and after Election to join any front and whose example is that in the past part of NDA Telugu Desam Party after negotiation with NDA not getting enough share in state join third front which has support of Nine Parties and they are hopeful that lot of other parties will also join them soon, if this is true then it will be good to see if they get majority then for how long they keep this front intact and rule India, but it’s appearing right now merely a front of opportunist as before the announcement of election they never try to make front and be united, so it’s real shape will be out after counting of votes on 16th May,2009.
This is fact that for the development and prosperity of India need we need front or Parties with full majority in the house so that ruler can implement their party agenda but if it alliance s before election then it can be true otherwise it will be a front of opportunists if alliance take place after elections.
