The power of Congress depended on its heroic past, but its early self-sacrifice turned to corruption, and the social and economic reforms that were endorsed by the party were often not carried out.
Congress (I) polled well in central and southern India, but was defeated by the BJP in its traditional northern Hindu-belt heartland of Uttar Pradesh, where a BJP state government was subsequently formed.
Congress (as the party had been redesignated) suffered losses in four state elections in November–December 1994, and in the spring of 1995 lost control of Maharashtra and Gujarat to the Hindu-chauvinist Shiv Sena and BJP.
