Story goes long back in 1989 - 90 when india's foreign reserve was negative with country fighting for a near bankrupcy. Just then a year later general election in india were announce. The then PM Mr. Rajiv Gandhi was roaming all across india on his political yatra to trumph the election and just then he sidelined the then vetern leader Mr. Narsimha Rao to look after the political movement of congress and retire from the active politics. Opinion polls discarded congress as campaign progressed with just 150-160 seats coming on its way and it seemed hard for Mr Gandhi to prove his ancetroral legacy. Just then, a brutal human bomb attack on Mr. Gandhi took his life and again india's political scenario was looked shattered. As election moved, congress emerged as single largest party in country with some 191 seats, still way below the simple majority.
Then, south's most senior leader, Mr. Rao claimed his prime ministership with south coming up with largest seats for congress. With refusal of Mrs. Gandhi to interfere, it was among senior congress leadership to decide for prime ministerial post. with no option on their hand and with no strong numbers behind heavy weights like Pranav Mukerjee and Sharad Pawar, congress had no option but to give this thorne crown to Mr.Narshima Rao. The Person who was sidelined by Mr. Gandhi at the begininig of the election and was not even given ticket to fight the MP's election, was crowned with the prime minister post in the most complex stable coallition goverment in the indian history. He has been criticised by the many but many do agree that he was among the best PM india ever had. The fundamental decision taken by him are still the foudation of indian economy.
The then Governer of RBI, Mr Manmohan Singh, who was sighting his retirement from the RBI in few years was picked by Mr. Rao to become finance minister of his goverment to take some bold decisions to overcome bankrupcy and faciliate the great indian success story. No one has yet forgot the 1991 budget that changed picture of the india economy. No one ever imagined that this geek alike person would be crowned PM and will become one of the most loved PM of the country.
The destiny has planned the way for them which they never thought to move on.
