who solved the question of " Who after Nehru"
Congress men and the public looked at
Kamaraj with a belief that India would be safe in his hands and he would solve
the problem of " Who is after Sastri". The world also turned towards
Kamaraj.
There were 6 people with full
qualifications for the post of P.M. They were not ready to withdraw themselves
from the contest. The working committee meeting was
conducted on 14th January 1965.
