Yes, the 1989 elections in India were democratic
Explanation:
- General elections were held in the year 1989 to elect the members of the ninth Lok Sabha. The 1989 were held since the previous Lok Sabha had been in power for a 5 years, which was the maximum permissible time period for any party to rule and the constitution allowed for new elections.
- The elections were won by Janata Dal along with support from the BJP at that time, thereby defeating the previous government that was rule by Congress
- The 1989 elections, hence can be called democratic elections since it was held as per the Constitutional requirement (elections are held regularly), free and fair elections were held and the concept of one man one vote was also adopted.
- At the time, the previous ruling govt, the Congress was embroiled in controversies, because of which people who had voted previously for the Congress had decided to vote for some other party, which implies, people had the option to chooses their elected representative fairly.
