	Asia Society: Publications - The Thirteenth Election of India's Lok Sabha
		The 1989 election's core issue was corruption, and some interpreted the increased vote share of the BJP in that election as a reflection of the increasing influence of a middle class increasing rapidly in size.
		Elections in which a "wave" of public support for a party meant that even a "lamppost" candidate could be elected on a surging party's ticket are rare; and there are few genuinely "safe" seats for any party.
		The simultaneous elections to the state assemblies in Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, and Karnataka add a major factor to the analysis of those states, which have 118 seats (20 percent of the total Lok Sabha): the voters' added attention to the record of the party ruling in the state.

		As a result, the sample is known to match al l the known attributes of the Indian electorate within a margin of 1 per cent, the CSDS says.

		In the 4th general elections held in 1970, Kazi Lhendup Dorji was appointed as an Executive Councilor and was allotted the portfolio of Agriculture and Animal Husbandry and Transport Authority.
		Suffice it to say that the results of the elections of 1973 did not satisfy the Sikkim National Congress who felt that they had not been conducted in a fair manner.
		The Sikkim Assembly elected Kazi Lhendup Dorji Khangsarpa as its leader and it was, therefore, natural that the responsibilities of the Chief Minister should ultimately fall on his shoulders.
