UPA(United Progressive Allience)
In the 2004 elections, no party had got enough majority to form the government at the Center. In view of this, the Congress Party formed a coalition consisting of several different parties, which was named UPA. The Congress formed the government at the Center in 2004 by this alliance. Let me tell you that this alliance has helped the Congress to form government twice. Currently, the president of UPA is Rahul Gandhi.
The names of party members included in the UPA are given below. Indian National Congress Nationalist Congress Party Rashtriya Janata Dal Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam Indian Union Muslim League Jharkhand Mukti Morcha Janata Dal (Secular) Kerala Congress (M) National Lok Dal Revolutionary Socialist Party Communist Marxist Party (John) Kerala Congress (Jacob) Peace Party of India Great parties, now you know what the NDA and UPA are. In simple terms, the NDA and UPA are the two major political alliances of India.
Many people see the UPA as the oldest alliance because it was founded by India’s oldest party but it is not. On one hand, NDA was established in the year 1998. The UPA was established in the year 2004. The NDA is thus the oldest alliance. The main party of the NDA is the Bharatiya Janata Party, while the main party of the UPA is the Congress and both parties lead their respective alliances.
