This led to formation of antiCongress fronts and rise of \u2018non-Congressism\u2019 in Indian politics. This brought the opposition together. As a result, coalition governments<br \/>\nwere formed in eight states which included Punjab, Haryana, UP,<br \/>\nMadhya Pradesh, Bihar and other states.<br \/>\nII) In the elections of Lok Sabha in 1971 and State Assembly elections in<br \/>\n1972, Congress achieved victories, but the Congress under Mrs. Indira<br \/>\nGandhi did not have the capacity to absorb all tensions and conflicts<br \/>\nthat the \u2018Congress System\u2019 was known for.<br \/>\nIII) The declaration of emergency in 1975 once again brought the<br \/>\nopposition together.<br \/>\nIV) Janta Party was formed and it came to power in 1977. But the Janta<br \/>\nParty could not remain united. It lacked direction, leadership and a<br \/>\ncommon programme. Congress once again won elections held in 1980<br \/>\nand 1984. It, however, depended on the appeal of one leader- Mrs.<br \/>\nIndira Gandhi.<br \/>\nV) In the 1989 elections, the Congress was the largest party but it sat in<br \/>\nthe opposition. The National Front government, an alliance of Janta<br \/>\nDal and some regional parties, was formed.<br \/>\nVI) The election of 1989 marked the end of Congress dominance and<br \/>\nbeginning of coalition governments because after this, one or two<br \/>\nparties never got most of the votes or seats. No single party secured a<br \/>\nclear majority of seats in any Lok Sabha elections. This initiated an era<br \/>\nof coalition government at the Center in which regional parties played<br \/>\na crucial role in forming ruling alliances.<\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Question 18:Coalition governments proved to be a boon for democracy in India. \u2018Support the statement with three relevant arguments.
