Solution

The correct options are
A It was withdrawn in the year 1977.
B Indira Gandhi called for immediate elections post its withdrawal.
C The media was censored and the constitutional rights were curbed.
An Emergency was declared in India from 1975 to 1977. For 21 months, the media was censored, and the constitutional rights were curbed.

When elections were held immediately after the Emergency was revoked, the Congress could win only 154 seats in the Lok Sabha, while the Janata Party and its allies won 330 seats out of the 542 seats in the Lok Sabha. With 295 seats, the Janata Party enjoyed a clear majority.

However, in the 1980 Lok Sabha elections, the Janata Party was defeated, and the Congress emerged victorious in nearly all states.
