The Indian general election in 1996 gave country no clear majority to any single party. With the Bhartiya Janta Party (BJP) emerging as the largest party, with 161 of 543 seats, it got invitation to form government by the president Mr shankar dayal Sharma and Atal Bihari Bajpayee was sworn in as prime minister.
However, he was unable to reach a majority mark irrespective of negotiation with several regional parties, realising that he can not garner require support he resigned , that was the end of his 13 days government.
13 parties coalition led to the , making of the united front and they formed government lead by H.D Deve gowda then karnatka chief minister with supporrt from congress and CPI(M).
within few months country saw political instability as congress withdrawn it's support, then Mr indra kumar Gujral became prime minister. Troubles yet to finish as CBI ask Bihar government to prosecute Mr lalu prasad yadav in fodder scam. Mr gujral has no choice but to approve.
That led Mr lalu Prasad to break janta dal and formed his own party rastriya janta dal with 17 out of 45 janta dal MP.
Within two years country has seen three prime minister.
Janata Dal, Samajwadi party, DMK, TDP, AGP, All india congress (tiwari), left front (4 parties), Tamil Manila Congress, National conference, DMK, AGP, TDP, and BJD were in United Front.
All heads of these party again coming together to make themselves relevant in current political environment as they are marginalised by general public due to their inaction, castism, opportutinism, corruptions, scams, dynasty rule and lack of vision for country growth.
We are yet to visualize what their policy and vision documents would be, will they be able to make themselves relevant , will they be able to stop Narendra Modi, Will they be able to drop their ego n aspiration , will they work for the betterment of public ...
This kind of several incidents took country back to elelection in 1998.
It was the time when country saw ambitions and aspirations coming in the way of governess and rise of regional parties.
Or do we need their socialist policy although they never work for the same...or do we need another political instability...or do we need another secularism vs communilism politics....or do we need politics for the developdevelopment ?
Let's think, wait & watch as the drama unfolds.
