General elections were held in India in 1989 to elect the members of the 9th Lok Sabha. The result was a loss for the Indian National Congress and Rajiv Gandhi because all the opposition parties formed together a minority government under V. P. Singh and the National Front. The National Front was able to secure the first minority government since 1947 Independence with the help of the Left Parties and Bharatiya Janata Party.
