Majority supported Lal Bhagadhur Sastri .
It was the wish of Kamaraj too.
On 1st of June (Monday) night Kamaraj met
Morarji Desai and informed him about the interest of the majority members in
electing Sastri as P.M. . Then Morarji Desai gave an interview to Newspapers
reporters about the decision of the parliament members in electing Sastri as
P.M. They appreciated his act of obedience to
the party's high command.
Election of Sastri as Prime Minister :
June 2nd . It was the day which made
a turning point in the Indian history . It was the day which answered to the
question of " who is after Nehru "
Kamaraj created another history that day. Generally

conducted the meeting there.
Exactly at 9'o clock Congress party
members gathered at the Central hall of the parliament. State C.M.s ,
Leaders and Foreign Ambassadors were in the Visitor's gallery.
