General elections were held in India in 1991[1] to elect the members of the 10th Lok Sabha. Voter turnout was the lowest ever in parliamentary elections.[2] No party could muster a majority in the Lok Sabha, hence INC formed a minority government with the support of other parties, resulting in a stable government for the next 5 years under the new Prime Minister P. V. Narasimha Rao.[3] BJP wins 20 seats, Congress wins 5 seats and JD (G) wins only one seat.
