What is the Difference between an Alliance and a Minority Government?

Alliance Government

1. Two or more parties combine to form a government.

2. MLAs are chosen from all the parties of the alliance.

3. Some minimum programmes from the manifestos of all the parties of the alliance are decided beforehand.

4. Both parties take joint decisions on all matters.

Minority Government.

1. The government is formed by only one party which does not have the minimum numbers required for a majority.

2. The Chief Minister and other Ministers are chosen from this party only.

3. The agenda/manifesto of only that party is implemented.

4. There will be no interference in the decisions of the government by any other party.

AAP is forming a minority government in Delhi and not an alliance government.

AAP has never asked for any support from the Congress or BJP.

The Congress Party had unilaterally agreed to support the AAP to make up the numbers to form a ministry.

The BJP too had agreed to provide Constructive support to run the government.

The Congress and BJP will feign ignorance of the above assurances by their parties but we are sure the common man (Aam Aadmi) will see through their subterfuge and support the AAP.

We are seeing the result of an alliance government in the present UPA at the centre.

Each member of the alliance has been looting the country and our impotent prime minister cannot do anything giving the excuse of "coalition dharma"

The the DMK, NCP and Congress have been looting the the ministries under their respective parties while our Prime Minister looked on, hands in pocket and lips sealed.

For a change, the AAP has formed a minority government with the people's support.

If the Congress and BJP would like to pull the rug, they are welcome but AAP will go as per their manifesto, like it or not.
