Answer:
For a
long time the Central Government misused the Constitutional power to dismiss
State Governments that were controlled by the rival parties.
(i) But the rise of regional political parties in many states have
changed the central-state relations.
All this changed significantly after 1990.
(ii) This was the beginning of the era of coalition governments
at the centre.
(iii) Since no single party got a clear majority in the
Lok Sabha, the major national parties had to enter into an alliance with many
parties including several regional parties to form a government at the centre.
(iv) It led to a new culture of power sharing and respect
for the autonomy of State Governments. This trend was supported by the
Constitution and made it difficult for the Central Government to dismiss any
State Government in an arbitrary manner.
