Explanation:

The Bangladesh crisis had put a heavy strain on India’s economy. About eight million people crossed over the East Pakistan border into India.

The climax of the confrontation was of course the ruling of the High Court declaring Indira Gandhi’s election invalid.The opposition political parties led by Jayaprakash Narayan pressed for Indira Gandhi’s resignation and organised a massive demonstration in Delhi’s Ramlila grounds on 25 June 1975. Jayaprakash announced a nationwide satyagraha for her resignation and asked the army, the police and government employees not to obey “illegal and immoral orders”.

Morarji Desai, a prominent leader of Congress (O), who was the main rival of Indira Gandhi when he was in the Congress, announced that he would go on an indefinite fast if fresh elections were not held in the State. Under intense pressure from students, supported by the opposition political parties, assembly elections were held in Gujarat in June 1975. The Congress was defeated in this election.

Chaudhary Charan Singh (1902-1987) was a prominent figure in Indian politics. He served as the Prime Minister of India from July 1979 to January 1980. He had a notable history as a freedom fighter and was actively involved in the politics of Uttar Pradesh. Charan Singh was a strong advocate for rural and agricultural development.
