A meeting of AIC working committee was organized
on 30th May to elect a new leader to parliament. 13 C.Ms of the state where
Congress was in rule and V.R. Krishna menon were participated in the meeting as
special invites.
Kamaraj presided over the meeting and
wanted them to save co-operation.
He also said that they were there to fill
up the vacancy caused by the death of Nehru hence they should act with
co-operation and elect the leader of the party to parliament unanimously.
Finally the working committee gave the
power to advice in the election of prime minister to Kamaraj. It was his second
victory. He took the responsibility of deciding the fate of the country again.
In the next 3 days he invited the Congress
members of the parliament and the Chief Ministers and talked to them. Kamaraj
who crossed all the political storms faced this challenge too.
Newspapers flashed that whether Lal
Bhagadhur Sastri or Morarji Desai. Who was the next P.M. Countries of the world
were looking upon this.
Kamaraj was keen in electing the P.M.
unanimously.
