What to Focus On

  • Nehru’s death in May 1964 created a succession crisis.
  • K. Kamraj helped secure consensus for Shastri.
  • Shastri became Prime Minister through a peaceful party transition.

  • Indira Gandhi defeated Morarji Desai in a secret ballot.
  • She received support from more than two-thirds of Congress MPs.
  • She had earlier been Congress president and a Union Minister.

  • The fourth general elections were held in February 1967.
  • These were the first elections for Congress without Nehru.
  • Congress won a Lok Sabha majority but with its weakest performance since 1952.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Nehru’s death created an immediate democratic collapse because India had no plan for leadership change.

Lal Bahadur Shastri became Prime Minister because he was the strongest rival to Indira Gandhi later on.

Indira Gandhi became Prime Minister only because the Congress party had no serious support for Morarji Desai.
