This picture depicts the strained Centre-state relations before the 1990s when most of the states were under the influence of one Central party, that is the Congress party.
During the Congress era, the relations between the Centre and the states were deteriorating, especially when the Central government was led by the Congress party but a state government was led by a party other than the Congress. In such situations, the Centre misused its power by either dismissing the state government or making it difficult for that state government to administrate.
