Era of coalutions

 

Do you mean 'Era of coalition'?

After Independence, there were only few parties which formed governments at the centre and at the state levels. When rival parties formed the Government at the state level, the Central Government tried to misuse its powers by dismissing the State Governments. This weakened the federal spirit of our constitution. However, the condition improved after 1990 when many regional parties emerged in different states. This also marked the beginning of the coalition government. Two or more parties formed the Government at the centre in the absence of a clear majority. This led to a new era of power sharing in the 1990's and respecting the independent working of the State Governments.
