Answer 1

The opposition fought the 1977 elections on the slogan of “Save Democracy,” opposing the Emergency imposed by Indira Gandhi. The Janata Party, a coalition of opposition parties, emphasized restoring civil liberties, democratic values, and ending authoritarian rule. Their campaign resonated with voters, leading to a historic defeat of the Congress Party and the formation of the first non-Congress government in independent India.
