From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Parties are listed in the following order; First listed are parties registered as National parties, secondly parties registered as State parties and then unrecognized parties that won seats. Unrecognized parties that failed to win any seats are not listed.
The 13'th Indian General Elections were held a few months after the Kargil War. The elections became necessary when the then prime minister Atal Behari Vajpayee lost a no-confidence vote in Lok Sabha (lower house of parliament) earlier that year and the opposition failed to unite to form the next government. Thus shortly after the no confidence motion, President K. R. Narayanan dissolved the Lok Sabha. Atal Behari Vajpayee remained a caretaker prime minister till the elections were held later that year. His role as de facto Head of State during the Kargil war helped the NDA attain a majority in the election and reinstating him as Prime Minister. The 13th Lok Sabha election is of historical importance as it was the first time a united front of parties managed to attain a majority and formed a government that lasted a full term of five years. Thus ending a period of perceived political instability at the Center that was marked by 3 general elections held in as many years.
Lok Sabha elections Sept-Oct 1999.

Comments: The result was a fractured verdict. First BJP formed a government, but it only lasted for 13 days. Then practically all non-BJP, non-Congress parties got together and formed the United Front.
