Abstract
India's 1998 general elections produced a hung parliament in which the Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) was the largest party. The government was a minority administration in which a number of individual parties were in a pivotal position. After a confidence vote a year later the government fell and, when fresh elections were scheduled for September 1999, it was decided that a number of state assembly elections should be held at the same time. The slow disintegration of the centrist Janata Dal, the rise of the BJP and the emergence of regional parties on the national stage illustrate the collapse of the dominant Congress party system.
