National Democratic Alliance (India)

The National Democratic Alliance (NDA) is the ruling coalition in India. It is led by the BJP and had 13 constituent parties at the time of its formation. It is widely expected to perform well in the 2004 elections to the Lok Sabha.

Currently, the other parties in the NDA are: Shiv Sena, Janata Dal (United), Biju Janata Dal, Trinamool Congress, Indian National Lok Dal, Shiromani Akali Dal and Himachal Vikas Congress. The Telugu Desam Party gives it outside support. Several of the smaller parties have pulled out of the NDA in the course of its five year term, the latest being the DMK and the PMK, which, along with the MDMK, are set to form a "progressive front" in Tamil Nadu.
