Indian general election, 1973 (Fascist Coup Britain)

The 1973 Indian general election saw the INC make gains but not enough to form a stable government leading to snap elections early the following year.

Background
Following the 1971 election India had been governed by a four party coalition of the Muslim League, Communist Party, Liberal Party and Akali Dal; however, this coalition fell apart in the summer of 1973 over the issue of boundary changes leading to snap elections.

Results
Whilst the INC gained seats it was unable to form a stable government forcing the need for a second round of early election at the beginning of the following year.
