The Congress has a tremendous knack of survival and comes back even more evil. The Congress is clueless and an absolute bumblung idiot when it comes to efficient and effective administration but is a master when it comes to politics, winning elections by hook or crook, sabotaging institutions for personal gain and every other imaginable act of political subversion. The Janata Party rose to power with sweeping majority in 1977 and got split into various factions within two years. Indira Gandhi was successful in dividing her enemies to her advantage using the manipulative and cunning tactics and by making use of the Prime Ministerial ambitions of Charan Singh. Morarji Government lost the confidence vote in Lok Sabha and submitted his resignation. Chaudhary Charan Singh was sworn in as the 7th Prime Minister of India on 28th July 1979 with the outside support of Congress. Charan Singh had only 64 Members on his side. Even before he could prove his majority in the Lok Sabha, Indira Gandhi withdrew her support. President of India dissolved the Lok Sabha and ordered fresh elections. The first experiment of coalition Government, formed by multiple parties with different ideologies, failed in India. In the General election, Congress alone got 353 seats (42.7% vote share), as against 189 seats (41% vote share) in 1977. Though the vote share of Congress has marginally increased only by 1.7%, because of the split of opposition parties, Congress could bag 353 seats
