Answer
The above statement is True. Reasons :
If the elected government in power loses its majority before completing its term.
If no party gets complete majority, then two or more parties come together and form a coalition government.
Such coalition government collapses if any party withdraws the given support.
In such situations, the government is left with no option other than resigning.
If there is no alternative available to form government then the Parliament or Vidhan Sabha is dissolved before completing its term. In such a scenario, the Election Commission has to conduct mid-term elections.
