Singh, Vishwanath Pratap

   Also found in: Encyclopedia 0.03 sec.

Singh, Vishwanath Pratap (1931–2008)

Indian politician, prime minister 1989–90. As a member of the Congress (I) Party, he held ministerial posts under Indira Gandhi and Rajiv Gandhi, and from 1984 led an anti-corruption drive. When he unearthed an arms-sales scandal in 1988, he was ousted from the government and party and formed a broad-based opposition alliance, the Janata Dal, which won the November 1989 election. Mounting caste and communal conflict split the Janata Dal and forced him out of office in November 1990.
