Trace the emergence of BJP as a significant force in post-Emergency politics.



Answer -

The following are the ways in which BJP emerged as a significant force in post-Emergency politics:

  1. In the 1989 elections, the National Front under V.P Singh came to power supported by left front and BJP from outside because they wanted to keep the Congress out of power. Due to the Mandal Commission Reports and implementation of its recommendation forced BJP to reconsider its support and finally it withdrew it. Thus, in November 1990, the rule of the National Front came to an end.
  2. In 1996 election, BJP minority government was formed for a short period. In June 1996 BJP failed to get majority support in the vote of confidence and thus collapsed.
  3. From May 1998 to June 1999 and was re-elected in October 1999. Atal Behari Vajpayee was the Prime Minister during both these NDA governments and his government formed in 1999 completed its full term.
  4. The political competition during the nineties and divided between the coalition led by BJP and coalition led by Congress.
