  Indian general elections, 2004 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
On May 13, the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party conceded defeat after a unexpectedly strong showing by the Indian National Congress, which while not winning a majority outright was able to put together a majority under the direction of Gandhi family matriarch, Sonia Gandhi.
The Congress Party was riding on slogans like "The Hand of Congress (the party's official symbol) is with the common man," indicating that it was banking on support from the vast majority of Indians and not so much on the upper middle class and the elite.
The rout of the ruling parties in the states of Tamil Nadu and Kerala in the general elections led to calls for the dissolution of the governments of these states.

 Party politics in India, 1963-2000
The Janata Party, a coalition party formed by a variety of anti-Congress forces, ran their campaign against the emergency government of Indira Gandhi, and won the support of the Indian people, winning 55% of the seats in the Lok Sabha (compared to Congress's 28%) with 41% of the popular vote.

Janata Dal was formed in 1988 as the result of a merger between Jan Morcha, Lok Dal, and the Janata Party.
