There were several controversies regarding the election as well. The rioters who had been arrested over the years, and all people in jail weren't allowed to vote from jail.
Periyar, who incited violence against the brahmins in Tamil Nadu, was immediately expelled from BJS, and was arrested after a hearing in the Chennai High Court.
Candidates who preached for Pakistan were immediately arrested, their candidacy made null and void.
CPI was found guilty of taking foreign money from a foreign country, the USSR, which led to its ban.
As per most of the international community, India conducted its first free and fair elections.
Except UK and Portugal, both of which weren't even invited to observe.
As it was found that USSR interfered in India's election, hoping for Communist party to become stronger, it led to condemnation by USA, which offset the Korean War two days ago as Soviet controlled Korea invaded US controlled Korea.
Another major controversy that now came is that despite BJS getting the majority, it lost in Delhi, both in general and Supercity elections.
