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.
"A new government will be formed. We extend to them our good wishes and offer them our constructive cooperation," said the 45-year-old man who won his own Parliament seat overwhelmingly for a third time.
"The people have given their verdict," he said in a televised speech last night.
Gandhi submitted his resignation to President Ramaswamy Venkataraman and said he was ready for the role of opposition leader.
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, Vishwanath 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.
