2004 elections in India
The 2004 Indian general elections, held in four phases between April 20 and May 10, marked the 14th Lok Sabha elections in the country. These elections were significant as they reflected a shift in political dynamics, with the United Progressive Alliance (UPA), led by the Indian National Congress (INC), emerging victorious against the incumbent National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government, headed by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). The elections witnessed a voter turnout of approximately 57.3%, with the UPA securing 216 seats out of 543 in the Lok Sabha. The results underscored a resurgence of coalition politics in India and led to the formation of a government under Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, emphasizing economic reform and social development.
