Indian National Congress - Post-1991 Reforms, Coalition Politics, Nationalism

Indian National Congress - Post-1991 Reforms, Coalition Politics, Nationalism: In contrast to the party’s historical socialist policies, Rao embraced economic liberalization. By 1996 the party’s image was suffering from various reports of corruption, and in elections that year the Congress Party was reduced to 140 seats, its lowest number in the Lok Sabha to that point, becoming parliament’s second largest party. Rao subsequently resigned as prime minister and, in September, as party president. He was succeeded as president by Sitaram Kesri, the party’s first non-Brahman leader. The United Front (UF) government—a coalition of 13 parties—came to power in 1996 as a minority government with the support of the Congress
