'Indira Gandhi had good relations with many RSS leaders but...': Book
A new book has claimed that former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi had good relations with several RSS leaders but carefully kept a distance between the organisation and herself. In "How Prime Ministers Decide", journalist Neerja Chowdhury analyses the operating styles of the country's prime ministers through the prism of six decisions of historic significance - the strategy that Gandhi devised to return to power in 1980 post-Emergency, the Shah Bano case, the Mandal Commission, the Babri Masjid incident, Atal Bihari Vajpayee's nod to nuclear tests, and the Indo-US nuclear deal under Manmohan Singh. "The RSS helped Indira Gandhi come to power in 1980," Gandhi's close aide Anil Bali is quoted as saying. "RSS chief Balasaheb Deoras had once remarked during the course of a conversation, 'Indira Gandhi bahut badi Hindu hai.'"
