The elections of 1967 marked the emergence of a notable political phenomenon - coalition politics. With no single party securing a majority, various non-Congress parties united to form joint legislative groups, referred to as "Samyukt Vidhayak Dal" in Hindi, to back non-Congress governments. As a result, these governing entities earned the designation of SVD governments. Notably, most of these coalitions comprised partners with differing ideological orientations. |
