The similarities between the United Front Government of 1996 and the National Front Government of 1989 are as follows:

a. Both United Front Government and National Front Government were coalitions formed in different years.

b. The National Front Government received support from both the left and the BJP in 1989 to accomplish their agenda of not letting Congress come into power.

c. In 1996 the National Front Government continued to receive support from the left but instead of the BJP, they were supported by the Congress this time because they did not want to see the BJP in power.
