This can be understood through following examples :
1. Samta Party which considered Jai Prakash Narayan its ideal and believed his ideology made an alliance with BJP instead of Rashtriya Janata Dal. But after a few days, Samta Party broke its alliance from BJP.
2. In 1997, after giving support to H.D. Devegowda, Congress put a condition on the basis of changing P.M. and then after 10 months in April 1997, Indra Kumar Gujral was elected as a P.M., Congress gave its support again.
3. In Bihar, Lalu’s inclusion in alliance of Samta Party Supported Rashtriyajanta Dal and in UP’s elections support was given to Mulayam Singh’s Samajwadi Party which were opposite to each other.
