1991 elections in India
The 1991 Indian general elections were held in two phases on June 20 and June 26, marking a significant moment in the country's political landscape. These elections were conducted to elect the 10th Lok Sabha, following a period of political instability and economic crisis. The Indian National Congress, led by P. V. Narasimha Rao, emerged victorious, securing 244 seats out of 543, thus forming a majority government. This election was notable for its backdrop of economic liberalization and reforms, which were initiated shortly thereafter. The results indicated a shift in voter sentiment, with a decline in support for traditional parties and a rise in regional parties, reflecting the changing dynamics of Indian politics in the post-Cold War era.
