The above statement is False.
- As no single party got majority after the elections held in 1989, coalition government came to power at the centre and many states.
- Parties had to set aside their policies and programmes and concentrate on a common agenda to run the government.
- Both Congress Party and the Bharatiya Janata Party made an experiment of establishing a coalition government.
- The National Democratic Alliance formed by BJP and its partners and the Democratic Front government formed by Congress and its partners ruled at the centre and state level effectively.
Therefore, the belief that the coalition government brings instability was proved wrong.
