Under the presidency of Kamaraj , it was discussed to elect the P.M.In the meeting it was resolved that Kamaraj should elect the P.M. after knowing the opinions of the members.

Kamaraj invited the M.P.s and state C.M.s . This time his approach was different. He drew the members to his side who had difference of opinion. His talent was appreciated by the M.P.s throughout the day. Atulya Gosh gave a suggestion. He suggested Kamaraj as P.M.For this he gathered the supports of the M.P.s and C.M.s

Kamaraj refused it immediately. When Kamaraj refused the Prime Minister ship M.P.s and public called him as  "Maharishi Kamaraj " (Saint Kamaraj ). Kamaraj was prepared to face the situation suppose if the contest was unavoidable. He predicted that only Morarji Desai would contest against Indira Gandhi. Nanda and Chavan were not having enough support ,hence they would involve themselves.

The good reasons to elect Indira Gandhi were ,she was the president of AICC then , So the country knew her well. More than 50% of the population was ladies and they would prefer a lady to be the P.M. Also international leaders knew Indira Gandhi well.
