Explain any two causes of popularity of Indira Gandhi during the 1971 General Election. |

Answer» Indira Gandhi conveyed the people that the Opposition had only one program of ‘Remove Indira’ (Indira Hatao). On the other hand, she had given a positive program in front of the people under the ‘Remove Poverty’ (Garibi Hatao) slogan. She also pressed upon programs like Public Sector growth, rural landownership, and delimitation of urban property, end of disparity in Income and opportunity and termination of Privy Purse. By giving the “Garibi Hatao” slogan, Indira Gandhi had tried to generate support in communities such as landless farmers, untouchables, tribes, religious minorities, women and unemployed youth. |
