Question

Which of these decades first saw the rise of coalition governments in India?

• A. 1990

Answer 1

The correct option is A 1990
No single party got a clear-cut majority in the Lok Sabha during the 1990s. So the national parties had no other choice but to enter into an alliance to form a government. This alliance included several regional parties. This arrangement allowed the state governments to exercise their autonomy. This decade is thus seen as the beginning of the coalition era in India.
