1984 Indian general election in Gujarat

The 1984 Indian General Election in Gujarat was a significant political event held in the state to elect representatives to the 8th Lok Sabha, the lower house of India's Parliament. Conducted in two phases on 24 and 30 November 1984, these elections were marked by the aftermath of the assassination of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi and the subsequent anti-Sikh riots. The Indian National Congress (I) emerged as the dominant political force in Gujarat, securing a substantial majority of the state's Lok Sabha seats. Despite a backdrop of social unrest and political upheaval, the Congress's performance reflected a rallying support for the party under the leadership of Rajiv Gandhi, who had taken office following his mother's assassination. The election outcomes showcased the party's consolidation of power in Gujarat during a tumultuous period in Indian politics.
