Morarji Desai became the first non-Congress Prime Minister in 1977, leading the Janata Party coalition after the Emergency period ended. Charan Singh was also non-Congress but came later (1979). A.B. Vajpayee and V.P. Singh were non-Congress PMs but Desai holds the distinction of being the first to break Congress's continuous hold on the Prime Ministership.
