The Sharad Pawar-led Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) has said that it would be keen to form an alliance with the Congress Party in Goa, Gujarat and Odisha before the 2014 general elections. NCP general secretary D.P. Tripathi said that talks are going on, but the Congress has not decided anything. Last time, they had an alliance with the Congress in Goa, Gujarat and Odisha and added that the NCP has announced its first list of 24 candidates for the general elections, 18 of whom are from Maharashtra and six from other states.
The Congress Party has led coalition governments for the past decade, but faces an uphill struggle to win re-election this year due to a string of corruption scandals and sagging economic growth. Regional parties and their often charismatic leaders have become more powerful national players in recent years.
Jayaram Jayalalithaa, chief minister of Tamil Nadu, has also formed an alliance with some Left Front parties. A government made up of several regional groups with diverse agendas could prove unwieldy, a potential problem for Asia's third-largest economy, whose growth has tumbled to a decade low due to the slow pace of reform under the Congress Party's watch.
