Indian general election, 1955 (Fascist Coup Britain)

The 1955 Indian general election was triggered after the fall of the INC minority government.

Background
Whilst the 1952 general election resulted in an INC minority government, which received support from the Communists, Socialists and Liberals, the INC had managed to alienate both the Communists, through its refusal to commit to higher welfare spending, and the Liberals, by the halving of the amount of seats reserved for Europeans from 40 to 20. This alienation of the Communists and the Liberals, led to them allying with the Muslim League in a no confidence motion against the government which passed after the Akali Dal abstained.

Results
Whilst the INC made a net gain in seats during the election it saw itself losing power to a coalition of the Muslim League, Liberal Party and Communist Party receiving outside support from Akali Dal, however this coalition proved unstable and fresh elections were called for the new year following the coalition's breakdown over budget negotiations.
