<br />
'''Lok Sabha General elections''' were held in [[India]] between 5 September and 3 October 1999, a few months after the [[Kargil War]]. For the first time, a united front of political parties won a majority and formed a non-INC National government that lasted a full term of five years, thus ending a period of political instability at the national level in the country that had been characterized by three general elections held in as many years.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://hindi.eci.gov.in/files/file/4125-general-election-1999-vol-i-ii-iii/// | title=Elections in Gujarat in 1999 }}</ref> In Gujarat, BJP won twenty seats with Congress winning only six seats out of total twenty-six seats.<br />
