lol..i know Indira Gandhi lost after emergency and Rajeev lost in 1989 but when they were Assasinated they both were in power. While Indira had a anti-USA approch Rajeev Gandhi helped in improving the bilateral relation with USA.He introduced measures significantly reducing the License Raj - allowing businesses and individuals to purchase capital, consumer goods and import without red-tape and bureaucratic restrictions..and as far as libralisation is concerned i do remember NDA sitting in the opposition and making a hue and cry about it..lol, NDA just capitalized on the momentum provided to them,its not that i am a fanatic for any of the parties,i just feel that only looking at mistakes someone made and completely disregarding the good things they did is not fair..and maybe thats why i am only trying to defend these two ppl, you look like a reasonable man because you seem to know what you are talking about, wont you agree Kashmir, UP,Bihar,MP were safer when either of these two was in power..
