TheNational Democratic Alliance (NDA;ISO:Rāṣṭrīya Lokatāntrik Gaṭhabandhan) is an Indianbig tentmulti-party political alliance, led by the country's biggest political party, theBharatiya Janata Party (BJP).[9] It was founded on 15 May 1998.[10] It currently has a majority in both theRajya Sabha and theLok Sabha, and controls theGovernment of India as well as the governments of 19 out of 28Indian states and 2 out of 3Union territories with legislative assemblies.
Its first chairman was thenPrime Minister of IndiaAtal Bihari Vajpayee.L. K. Advani, the formerDeputy Prime Minister, took over as chairman in 2004 and served until 2014, andAmit Shah has been the chairman since 2014. The coalition ruled from 1998 to 2004. The alliance returned to power in the2014 general elections with a combined vote share of 38.5%.[11] Its leaderNarendra Modi was sworn in as Prime Minister of India on 26 May 2014. In the2019 general election, the alliance further increased its tally to 353 seats with combined vote share of 45.43%.[12] The alliance lost 60 seats in the2024 general election, but retained enough to form a coalition government, a first in over 10 years. On 7 June 2024, Modi confirmed the support of 293 MPs toDroupadi Murmu, thePresident of India.[13] This marked Modi's third term as Prime Minister and his first time heading acoalition government,[14] with theTelugu Desam Party ofAndhra Pradesh andJanata Dal (United) ofBihar emerging as two main allies.[15][16][17]

The NDA was formed in May 1998 as a coalition to contest thegeneral elections. The main aim of the NDA was to form an anti-Indian National Congress coalition. It was led by theBJP, and included several regional parties, including theSamata Party and theAIADMK, as well asShiv Sena, but Shiv Sena broke away from the alliance in 2019 to join theMaha Vikas Aghadi withCongress and theNCP.Samata Party also broke away from alliance in 2003 after formation ofJanta Dal (United). The Shiv Sena was the only member which shared theHindutva ideology of the BJP.[18][19] After the election, it was able to muster a slim majority with outside support from theTelugu Desam Party, allowingAtal Bihari Vajpayee to return as prime minister.[20]
The government collapsed within a year because the AIADMK withdrew its support. After the entry of a few more regional parties, the NDA proceeded to win the1999 elections with a larger majority. Vajpayee became Prime Minister for a third time, and this time served a full five-year term.[21]
The NDA calledelections in early 2004, six months ahead of schedule. Its campaign was based around the slogan of "India Shining" which attempted to depict the NDA government as responsible for a rapid economic transformation of the country. However, the NDA suffered a defeat, winning only a 186 seats in the Lok Sabha, compared to the 222 of theUnited Progressive Alliance led by theCongress, withManmohan Singh succeeding Vajpayee as prime minister. Commentators have argued that the NDA's defeat was due to a failure to reach out to the rural masses.[22][23] The scenario however changed quickly with the rise of Gujarat CMNarendra Modi who went on to become India's PM from 2014 onwards.
The National Democratic Alliance does not have a formal governing structure such as anexecutive board orpolitburo. It has been up to the leaders of the individual parties to make decisions on issues such as sharing of seats in elections, allocation of ministries and the issues that are raised in Parliament. Given the varied ideologies among the parties, there have been many cases of disagreement and split voting among the allies.
Owing to ill health,George Fernandes, who was the NDA convener until 2008, was discharged of his responsibility and replaced bySharad Yadav, the then national president of theJD(U) political party. On 16 June 2013, the JD(U) left the coalition and Sharad Yadav resigned from the role of the NDA convener. Then theChief Minister ofAndhra PradeshN. Chandrababu Naidu was made the NDA convener.[24] Later in 2018, after the withdrawal ofTDP from NDA the post of convenor was vacant. However NDA allies likeLJP demanded the appointment of a convenor in 2019 for better coordination of the allies.[25]
On 27 July 2017 JD(U) with the help of BJP formed the government in Bihar. Later, on 19 August 2017 JD(U) formally rejoined the NDA after 4 years.[26]
