History

• Indian National League was formed as a reaction to the continued alliance of IUML with INC post Babri Masjid Demolition.<ref name=":0" /><ref name=":2" />
• Opposition raised by several CPIM leaders, who saw the National League as a communal party, ensured that the National League had to stay outside the LDF for over two decades (1994 - 2018).<ref name=":0" />
• The Indian National League mostly allied with the CPIM unofficially in certain seats in the various Kerala Assembly elections between 1994 and 2018.<ref name=":0" />
• Indian National League was associated with the Indian National Congress-led UDF briefly in 2010-11.<ref name=":1" />
