The NDA was formed in May 1998 as a coalition to contest the general elections. The main aim of the NDA was to form an anti-Indian National Congress coalition. It was led by the BJP, and included several regional parties, including the Samata Party and the AIADMK, as well as Shiv Sena, but Shiv Sena broke away from the alliance in 2019 to join the Maha Vikas Aghadi with Congress and the NCP. Samata Party also broke away from alliance in 2003 after formation of Janta Dal (United). The Shiv Sena was the only member which shared the Hindutva ideology of the BJP.{{Cite web |author=Keith Jones |date=9 October 1999 |title=Hindu chauvinist-led coalition to form India's next government |url=http://www.wsws.org/en/articles/1999/10/bjp-o09.html |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131024151608/http://www.wsws.org/en/articles/1999/10/bjp-o09.html |archive-date=24 October 2013 |access-date=27 September 2013 |publisher=World Socialist Web Site}}{{Cite book |last=Sen |first=Amartya |title=The Argumentative Indian |publisher=Penguin |year=2005 |page=254}} After the election, it was able to muster a slim majority with outside support from the Telugu Desam Party, allowing Atal Bihari Vajpayee to return as prime minister.{{Cite web |title=Rediff on the NeT: TDP helps Vajpayee wins confidence vote.

The government collapsed within a year because the AIADMK withdrew its support. After the entry of a few more regional parties, the NDA proceeded to win the 1999 elections with a larger majority. Vajpayee became Prime Minister for a third time, and this time served a full five-year term.{{Cite book |last=Sen |first=Amartya |title=The Argumentative Indian |publisher=Penguin |year=2005}}

The NDA called elections in early 2004, six months ahead of schedule. Its campaign was based around the slogan of "India Shining" which attempted to depict the NDA government as responsible for a rapid economic transformation of the country. However, the NDA suffered a defeat, winning only a 186 seats in the Lok Sabha, compared to the 222 of the United Progressive Alliance led by the Congress, with Manmohan Singh succeeding Vajpayee as prime minister. Commentators have argued that the NDA's defeat was due to a failure to reach out to the rural masses.{{Cite news |last=Ramesh |first=Randeep |date=14 May 2004 |title=News World news Shock defeat for India's Hindu nationalists |work=The Guardian |url=https://www.theguardian.com/world/2004/may/14/india.randeepramesh |url-status=live |access-date=10 December 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180612144006/https://www.theguardian.com/world/2004/may/14/india.randeepramesh |archive-date=12 June 2018}}{{Cite news |date=14 May 2004 |title=The Meaning of Verdict 2004 |work=The Hindu |url=http://www.hindu.com/2004/05/14/stories/2004051406131000.htm |url-status=dead |access-date=10 December 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111130175702/http://www.hindu.com/2004/05/14/stories/2004051406131000.htm |archive-date=30 November 2011}} The scenario however changed quickly with the rise of Gujarat CM Narendra Modi who went on to become India's PM from 2014 onwards.

The National Democratic Alliance does not have a formal governing structure such as an executive board or politburo. It has been up to the leaders of the individual parties to make decisions on issues such as sharing of seats in elections, allocation of ministries and the issues that are raised in Parliament. Given the varied ideologies among the parties, there have been many cases of disagreement and split voting among the allies.

Owing to ill health, George Fernandes, who was the NDA convener until 2008, was discharged of his responsibility and replaced by Sharad Yadav, the then national president of the JD(U) political party. On 16 June 2013, the JD(U) left the coalition and Sharad Yadav resigned from the role of the NDA convener. Then the Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh N. Chandrababu Naidu was made the NDA convener.{{Cite news |date=16 June 2013 |title=Live: It was time to remove Cong from Centre, not to break ties, says Rajnath |work=IBN Live |url=http://ibnlive.in.com/news/live-it-was-time-to-remove-cong-from-centre-not-to-break-ties-says-rajnath/399134-37-64.html |url-status=dead |access-date=5 May 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140505230842/http://ibnlive.in.com/news/live-it-was-time-to-remove-cong-from-centre-not-to-break-ties-says-rajnath/399134-37-64.html |archive-date=5 May 2014}} Later in 2018, after the withdrawal of TDP from NDA the post of convenor was vacant.
