Although the Congress’s position was very weak in the electoral contest of 1971, it had something that its big opponents lacked. it had an issue, an agenda, and a positive slogan:
Garibi Hatao in contrast to opposition’s Indira Hatao. This proved to be a major factor responsible for the dramatic victory of Indira Gandhi.
