As prime minister

When the then Prime Minister Lal Bahadur Shastri died suddenly in January 1966, then Congress President K Kamaraj made Indira Gandhi the Prime Minister of India. Many members of the party opposed this and faced challenges from Gandhi. Morarji Desai won one seat in the Lok Sabha elections in 1967 and the Congress Party won the elections by a small margin, after which Indira became the Prime Minister and Morarji Desai became the Deputy Prime Minister. Gradually tension started increasing within the party and Morarji Desai and others were expelled from the party. After this, Gandhi along with other party members formed a new party which was called the New Congress Party.

In 1971, the New Congress Party won the Lok Sabha elections. Indira Gandhi led the Indian armed forces in a decisive victory over Pakistan in late 1971, resulting in the creation of Bangladesh and Indira becoming the first government leader to recognize the new country. In the 1972 elections, Indira once again won the assembly elections with a large majority. Shortly thereafter, the defeated representative of the Socialist Party in the 1971 national election filed an indictment against Indira Gandhi for violating election laws in that election contest, after which the Allahabad High Court ruled against her in 1975, in which the court said that Gandhi will be deprived of her MP seat and will have to stay out of politics for about 6 years. Indira then appealed to the Supreme Court, but did not receive any satisfactory response and took matters into her own hands, declaring a state of emergency throughout India and jailing her opponents and assuming emergency powers. Took. After which Gandhi made many new laws, in which personal freedom was agreed upon. After this period, Indira also implemented many unpleasant policies on a large scale.

Fall and return to power

After 2 years, opposition to this emergency regime began to mount and in early 1977 his opponents were released. The opponents decided to oust the Congress Party from power. In 1977, national parliamentary elections were held after a long time and Indira’s party lost the elections badly. After which the Janata Party (presently Bharatiya Janata Party) took over the reins of the country and Morarji Desai became the new Prime Minister of the country.

Lok Sabha elections were held again in 1980 and Gandhi’s party once again returned to power with a landslide victory, in this election his son Sanjay Gandhi became his chief political advisor. Sanjay also won a seat from the Lok Sabha in this election. Sanjay Gandhi died in an air crash in June 1980. After Sanjay’s death, Indira Gandhi groomed her second son Rajiv Gandhi to lead her party.

In 1982, a large number of Sikhs under the leadership of Sant Jarnail Singh Bhind captured and fortified the Golden Temple complex in Amritsar, the holiest temple of the Sikhs. Tension grew between the government and the Sikhs, and in June 1984 Indira Gandhi ordered the Indian Army to attack and force the Sikhs out of the temple complex. In this fight, some walls of the temple were badly damaged and at least more than 450 Sikhs were killed. 5 months after the incident, Indira Gandhi was arrested in her garden in New Delhi in retaliation for the attack in Amritsar. He was shot dead by two bodyguards, after which his son Rajiv Gandhi became the new Prime Minister.
