The book takes a close look at the last three Lok Sabha elections – those of 1996, 1998 and 1999. It is a study of why elections have become more frequent since 1989. The reason given is the transformation of the party system from one of congress dominance to a multi-party configuration reflecting the instability of minority and/or coalition governments and hung parliaments.
