1991 Indian general election in Gujarat

General elections were held in India in 1991 to elect the members of the 10th Lok Sabha. Voter turnout was the lowest ever in parliamentary elections. 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. BJP wins 20 seats, Congress wins 5 seats and JD (G) wins only one seat.
