Economic growth rates increased as policies were liberalised though not as quickly as in China . Urbanisation was also very slow compared to that in China . Rate of growth of population and fertility rates decreased . Infant mortality rates saw good rate of decrease . Two polarising trends emerged in national politics - that of the politics of social justice based on caste which followed the implementation of Mandal commission report, and of the politics of religion based on Hindu nationalism, which was marked by demolition of the Babri Masjid in 1992 and the subsequent communal riots . </P> <P> The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) emerged from the May 1996 national elections as the single - largest party in the Lok Sabha but without enough strength to prove a majority on the floor of that Parliament . Under Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee, the BJP coalition lasted in power 13 days . With all political parties wishing to avoid another round of elections, a 14 - party coalition led by the Janata Dal emerged to form a government known as the United Front . A United Front government under former Chief Minister of Karnataka H.D. Deve Gowda lasted less than a year . The leader of the Congress Party withdrew his support in March 1997 . Inder Kumar Gujral replaced Deve Gowda as the consensus choice for Prime Minister of a 16 - party United Front coalition . </P>
