INTRODUCTION - Indira Gandhi became PM in 1966 first time . Before that she was foreign minister . A girl who was not good at studies and Joined Politics to help his father suddenly started taking interest . Now when she was foreign minister , she started to step her feet politics in deeply . Then when she became PM in 1966 she still needed a loyal person to guide her perfectly . Then a she called his right hand PK haksar . A man from Kashmir , very sharp minded person. It was said by the people that PK haksar was backbone for Indira Gandhi . Now 1969 congress was splited and now a group was raising towards Indira . Indira knew that perfectly . Now story changed 1971 . After WEST PAKISTAN war in 1971 . Indira became one of the dominant leader in World , all international media started giving attention to her .Opposition became silent like hell . People used to call her IRON LADY and No one dare to speak infront of Indira . All cabinet minister used to fear her .
As always said that every story has a turning point .
1974 was that
The Bihar Movement was initiated by students in Bihar in 1974 and led by the veteran Gandhian socialist Jayaprakash Narayan, popularly known as JP, against misrule and corruption in the government of Bihar. It later turned against Prime Minister Indira Gandhi's government in the central government
Now as Jansangh was also raising ATAL , ADVANI , NANAJI . And sooner all opposition leader started joining hands to remove Indira Gandhi from her chair .
Then comes Raj Narayan case , he was a leader who doesn’t fear anybody . Many years he was in jail during british rule (before 1947). He contested election from Rae Bareilly and there was 70 % chances that he would beat Indira . Because he was very popular at that area and very sure . But after result he losted 1,00,000+ votes it was unexpected . Raj Narayan was very sure that something was done to prevent him to win election , even people were shocked . People claim that Soviet Union helped Indira to win that election . Before day election with the dye paper was changed and lot corruption was done by officers also.
Raj Narayan called Shantibushan (famous lawyer ) and told him the story .Now they decided to fight case . Three point were raised infront of Judge
About Congress Symbol , which was of COW and calf said that it effects people sentiment and a religion symbol can’t be used
Officers are not used to help in campaigning elections .(Loudspeaker and chair which they managed for Indira) because at election time favour are not given to anybody
Indira changed the Bluebook and it was done purposely for elections .
Court accepted the allegation but Congress took stay of 20 days . Now game was changed Indira was in pressure and there was JP who had become a Spine in her eyes . Only a hard option was left for Indira because she perfectly knew that her political career would finish if she looses in SC as SC will impose ban of 6 years on her . Now on 25 June that Black day arrived . Emergency was declared .
People say that at late night 00:15 am orders of Emergency was signed by the president .
Opposition leader were arrested . Censorship was introduced . Lakhs of people were arrested . Now after that Jan Sangha introduced underground . A leader who escaped and went to Aboard was Subramanian swamy . Jan sangha member know that they would get nothing to do protest in India . So swamy went aboard (USA) and he started to tell deeds of Indira as she was very Conscious of International Image . Then he came to attended parliament and escape . This made Indira Gandhi furious as No one dared to do this at those times . Subramanian swamy became Poster boy . EMERGENCY HERO in eyes of people and in INDIRA eyes MOST WANTED . 18 cases were put on him . Indira told to Interpole that he is criminal and now Interpole was after him . But Swamy was not also less than her . He escaped at Harvard and Nepal also (his student was King ) and lived there . Atal Bihari signed the paper and got the bail . Emergency had taken violent look . Kannada actress died in jail due to inhaling problem . Condition was very bad at India . Now after that Indira realized that she cannot handle it anymore as in between she was sick and thinking to make Sanjay Gandhi as her successor . 23 march 1977 she ended Emergency , releasing all the leaders of opposition . Janata Party won with majority . Morarji became PM .
But soon after 1979 congress again came into power by snatching support from Charan Singh and winning election . Due to lack of trust Morarji government was failed .
