Can India form a coalition government?
NDA government seems to be forming at the center but due to BJP's seats falling short of 272, India Alliance is also considering forming the government. India Alliance has a total of 234 seats. To reach the figure of 272, 38 MPs will be needed. Nitish and Naidu have 28 MPs. If they join hands with India Alliance, their number will become 262. It will need 10 more MPs. These 10 MPs can come from others who are not part of any alliance.
If Owaisi, Pappu Yadav, Chandrashekhar join Azad Bharat Alliance, then there will be no surprise. Along with this, the mood of Khadoor Sahib MP Amritpal and Ferodkot MP Sabarjit Singh Khalsa will also have to be monitored. Apart from this, four MPs of YSRCP can also go somewhere else. After adding this, the figure of India Alliance will reach 271. After this, Engineer Rashid and Harsimrat Kaur Badal can also join any camp. In the next 5 years, both NDA and India Alliance can keep an eye on their steps. Engineer Rashid is in jail. He was arrested in 2019 in a terror funding case.
