When were the Eighth General Elections held ?
Answer: C
The Eighth General Elections were held in December, 1984.
After the assassination of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi on 31 October 1984, Rajiv Gandhi became Prime Minister and the Lok Sabha was dissolved early. Polling for the eighth Lok Sabha took place on 24, 27 and 28 December 1984 (elections in Assam and Punjab were held later, in 1985). The Congress won more than 400 seats, its largest ever majority.
October 1984 is the month of the assassination, not the election; November was the run-up to polling; and February 1984 was before the Lok Sabha was dissolved at all.
