Explanation

P.V. Narasimha Rao led a minority government from 1991-1996 as the first Congress Prime Minister to complete a full term without an absolute majority, relying on outside support. Atal Bihari Vajpayee's first minority term (1996) lasted only 16 days, and his second (1998-1999, then 1999-2004) required coalition support from the start.
