Since 1991, no Indian governing party has enjoyed a secure parliamentary majority on its own, necessitating multi-party coalition governments. The current Congress Party-led government of Manmohan Singh comprises 20 parties; it succeeded a 23-party coalition headed by the Bharatiya Janata Party’s Atal Bihari Vajpayee.
自1991年以来，没有一个印度执政党在议会中曾享有保险的多数席位，也因此必须组成多党联合政府。目前由曼莫汉·辛格领导的由国大党主导的政府由20个政党组成，上一届政府是由印度人民党的阿塔尔·比哈里·瓦杰帕伊领导的23党联合政府。
