Which of the following is not a feature of post-2019 development in Indian politics?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → State level parties did not share power at the national level.
-
Agreement on new economic policies → This continued after 2019. Most major parties accepted that liberalisation, privatisation, and globalisation should remain, even if they differed on implementation.
-
Support for reservation for backward classes → Political consensus remained strong on protecting and expanding reservations.
-
NDA coalition despite ideological differences → True. Several NDA allies, though not committed to Hindutva, allied with BJP for electoral and political reasons.
-
State-level parties not sharing power at national level → This is not true post-2019. In fact, state parties (like JD(U), Shiv Sena before 2019 split, AIADMK, etc.) played important roles in coalitions and governance at the Centre.
