Gandhi quits post as prime minister
The Associated Press
NEW DELHI, India — Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi resigned yesterday, and for only the second time since independence in 1947 his Congress Party did not claim the right to form the next government.
Opposition parties began trying to assemble a coalition.
Gandhi submitted his resignation to President Ramaswamy Venkataraman and said he was ready for the role of opposition leader.
"The people have given their verdict," he said in a televised speech last night.
"A new government will be formed. We extend to them our good wishes and offer them our constructive cooperation," said the 45-year-old former airline pilot, who won his own Parliament seat overwhelmingly for a third time.
Congress won more Parliament
seats in last week's elections than any other party but was far short of a majority.
The Congress Party has been out of office only once since independence from Britain.
National Front leaders predicted yesterday that they would choose the next prime minister, but differences arose among the five parties.
A meeting was delayed until tomorrow so legislators from the alliance could try to persuade its main leader, Wiyanwah Pratap Singh, to take the job. Singh has repeatedly said he does not want it.
"There will be trouble in the party if V.P. Singh is not elected prime minister," said Jaipal Reddy of Janata Dal, or People's Party, largest of the five parties in the National Front.
Singh is a former Gandhi minister and ally who has become his most prominent political foe.

Volunteer efforts starting at a national level are helping to provide food for residents of Topeka, Kansas City and the surrounding area.

surrounding Harvesters, in Kansas City, and Let's Help, in Topeka, serve their respective areas for the Chicago-based Second Harvest, said Diane Modrell, Harvesters' community relations representative.
"We've been around for 10 years," she said. "We've seen some growth. Let's Help was an industry that came to Harvester's. They became a food bank in 1989."
Harvesters employees distribute surplus and leftover food in 12 counties, including Johnson, Miami and Wyandotte Counties in Kansas.

mourner said they gave more than 5.2 million pounds of food to people in need in 1988. She expects to provide more than 6 million pounds of food in 1989.
With Harvesters' newest program, KC Harvest, workers can help to distribute food often missed by similar programs. With the program, refrigeration trucks are used to transport excess prepared foods.
Until now, prepared foods, such as those left over after a catering event, could not be transported because of possible food contamination or deterioration during transport.
"We have hundreds of thousands of pounds of food we've added," Modell said.
Direct community support and community food drives provide Harvesters with money and supplies, she said. The group also is financed as a private non-profit organization.
Services at Let's Help vary from those at Harvesters. Murge Roberts, Let's Help
director, said that only a part of her organization's work was related to Second Harvest.
"Harvesters is just a small part." she said. "We are their distributing agent in this area."
