Question

Highlight any four outcomes of the mid-term elections of 1980 in India.

Answer 1

The mid-term elections in India in 1980 had the following results:

1. It was a big loss for the Janata Party, especially in North India.
2. With 353 seats, the Congress party repeated its amazing win in 1971.
3. The Congress party once again led the country's government, and Indira Gandhi was returning as Prime Minister.
4. This was yet another warning that voters punish governments that they think are unstable and likely to cause fights harshly.
