प्रश्न
At times, the ruling party may not be a single party but a group of parties working together. This is called a coalition. Discuss with your teacher.
उत्तर
Student: Sir! In what situation a coalition is formed?
Teacher: When there is no single party which has won more than half of the total seats in a State Legislative Assembly, two or more political parties come together to muster the required seats. These parties together form the government. This is called a coalition government.
Student: Sir Is the coalition government successful in India?
Teacher: At present, it is successful. Because no single party is winning a majority of seats either in Parliament or in States. It has become a compulsion for political parties to work on the principle of coalition politics.
