India held general elections to the [[7th Lok Sabha]] in January 1980. The [[Janata Party]] alliance came into power after the elections to the 6th Lok Sabha held in 1977, riding the public anger against the [[Indian National Congress|Congress]] and the [[The Emergency (India)|Emergency]] but its position was weak. The loose coalition barely held on to a majority with only 295 seats in the Lok Sabha and never quite had a firm grip on power.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://hindi.eci.gov.in/files/file/4117-general-election-1980-vol-i-ii// | title=Elections in Gujarat in 1980 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.elections.in/parliamentary-constituencies/1980-election-results.html// | title= 7th India General Election }}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url=https://zeenews.india.com/lok-sabha-general-elections-2019/history-revisited-how-political-parties-fared-in-1980-lok-sabha-election-2188731.html// | title= Indian Political Journey }}</ref>
