[edit] Disputes

"The failure of the coalition - which allowed the far right Hindu supremacist BJP to gain power "

This sentence is not neutral. Also, the BJP did not come into power until seven years after the National Front left office (yes there was a 2 week BJP government in 1996, but it wasn't able to pass its first confidence vote). I.e, no direct linkage between the fall of the National Front government.

Also the use "National Front" to refer the alliance of the Communist and Marxist parties of India is not with current terminology. Generally, the term "Left Front" is used, at least in India's English language press. In fact, that National Front government was often known as the National Front-Left Front government (shortened to National Front).

[edit] NPOV?

I don't know much about Indian domestic politics, but this article seems to me to be written in a style that suggests it is not entirely neutral. I have tagged it as such. Emeraude (talk) 18:59, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
