History

Historical Context

The 1977 Lok Sabha election, held 16-20 March, ended Indira Gandhi’s rule after the Emergency (25 June 1975-21 March 1977) and gave the Janata Party 298 seats versus Congress’s 154, prompting Morarji Desai’s premiership. That loss also forced senior figures such as Sanjay Gandhi to lose their seats, illustrating how electoral defeat spurs party-wide purges that echo today’s disciplinary actions.
