Answer 1

Indira Gandhi was reelected for a fourth term as prime minister primarily due to **public opinion and economic crisis**. After the Economic crisis of the 1970s and the subsequent political turmoil, she managed to regain popular support through a strong leadership image, particularly following the 1971 war with Pakistan that resulted in the creation of Bangladesh. Her ability to connect with the electorate and her policies addressing economic issues also contributed to her reelection despite previous challenges.
