}}1998 elections in India comprised multiple key polls, most notably the 1998 Indian general election held on 16–28 February 1998, to elect the members of the 12th Lok Sabha, the lower house of the Parliament of India. These elections were held prematurely after the collapse of Prime Minister I. K. Gujral’s United Front government, as the Indian National Congress withdrew its support in November 1997. Voter turnout was approximately 61.97%, with 543 contested seats. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), led by Atal Bihari Vajpayee, emerged as the largest party with 182 seats, forming the National Democratic Alliance (NDA), though it initially fell short of a majority and had to secure outside support from the Telugu Desam Party. Vajpayee was sworn in as Prime Minister, but the government lasted only until April 1999 when the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) withdrew support.
Simultaneously, several state assembly and Rajya Sabha elections took place, including polls in states like Gujarat, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, and Tripura, reflecting significant local political shifts. For instance, in Gujarat, BJP won 19 of 26 seats, while Tamil Nadu saw a sweeping victory for NDA led by AIADMK, capturing 30 of 39 seats . In Kerala, the United Democratic Front marginally outperformed the Left Democratic Front, winning 11 out of 20 seats. Meanwhile, the 1998 Rajya Sabha elections held across several states added new upper house members.
These elections resulted in the short-lived 12th Lok Sabha, active from 23 March 1998 to 26 April 1999, characterized by coalition fragility and frequent government realignments.{{Politics of India}}
