| The ''' National Front''' (Rashtriya Morcha) was a coalition of political parties, led by the [[Janata Dal]], which formed [[India]]'s government between 1989 and 1990 under the leadership of [[N. T. Rama Rao]] as President and [[V. P. Singh]] as Convener. The coalition's prime minister was [[V. P. Singh]]. The parties in the Front were: [[Janata Dal]] of North India, [[Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam]] of [[Tamil Nadu]], [[Telugu Desam Party]] of [[Andhra Pradesh]], and [[Asom Gana Parishad]] of [[Assam]] and [[Congress (S)]]. They were supported from outside by the [[Left Front (India)|Left Front]] and the [[Bharatiya Janata Party]].
| |
| The [[Leader of the Opposition (India)|Leader of the Opposition]], [[P. Upendra]] was a General Secretary of the Front at its formation.
| |
| | |
| In 1991, [[Jharkhand Mukti Morcha]] became a part of the front. The front got defunct before the 1996 LS polls when National Front tried to rope in both [[Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam|DMK]] and [[AIADMK]], resulting in the walking out of the DMK. In 1995, [[Telugu Desam Party|TDP]] also split with a minority faction siding with [[N. T. Rama Rao]] and the majority faction chose to side with [[Chandrababu Naidu]]. After Rao died of a heart attack in January 1996, [[Janata Dal]] stood by [[NTR Telugu Desam Party (Lakshmi Parvathi)|Rama Rao's widow Lakshmi Parvathi]] while Left parties formed an alliance with the TDP faction led by Chandrababu Naidu.

| After the 1996 elections, [[Janata Dal]], [[Samajwadi Party]], [[Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam]], [[Telugu Desam Party]], [[Asom Gana Parishad]], [[All India Indira Congress (Tiwari)]], [[Left Front (India)|Left Front]] (4 parties), [[Tamil Maanila Congress]], [[Jammu & Kashmir National Conference|National Conference]], and [[Maharashtrawadi Gomantak Party]] formed a 13 party [[United Front (India)|United Front]]. [[H. D. Deve Gowda]] became the prime minister after both [[V. P. Singh]] and [[Jyoti Basu]] declined to become PM. He was later succeeded by [[I. K. Gujral]]. Both governments were supported from outside by the [[Indian National Congress]] under [[Sitaram Kesri]].
