  • Chapter-V Period of Marginalization (1967-1971)
    CHAPTER-V PERIOD OF MARGINALIZATION (1967-1971): A. NON-CONGRESS COALITION GOVERNMENT AND B. PRESIDENTIAL RULE A political reconstruction throughout the country and the All India Congress Party started unfolding the stratigies in the late 1960s. Prime Minister Indira Gandhi’s various steps regarding economic stance were not appreciated by the senior Congress leadership those who were popularly known as ‘syndicate’. The so called ‘syndicate’ group had started asserting themselves in post Nehru era on the ground of their seniority and experience which was counted more than important that of the political novice of Indira Gandhi. The senior as well as prominent Congress leaders like – K. Kamraj Nadar, S. Nijalingappa. S. K. Patil, Atulya Ghosh, C. Subramaniam, Neelam Sanjiva Reddy etc. collectively had formed an unconventional group at the aim of pressuring on Indira Gandhi to work on their advice.1 New Era- The All India Scenario Before the election of 1967 the so-called sundicate group leaders were sometimes succeeded to compel Indira Gandhi to act according to their advice. In that context, it may be mentioned that in case of the removal of G. L. Nanda from the portfolio of Home Ministy and Prime Minister had to resile regarding the keeping of Finance Minister Sachin Choudhury and Commerce Minister Munabhai Shah in their respective portfolio due to the pressure of syndicate group.2 But, the target of the syndicate group however, was not fulfilled as because most of these leaders were defeated in the election of 1967. The fourth general election was so detrimental for Congress party in India that for the first time after independence Congress had failed to form Governments in West Bengal, Bihar, Orissa, Tamil Nadu and Kerala due to lack of majority.

    © 2019 JETIR November 2019, Volume 6, Issue 11 www.jetir.org (ISSN-2349-5162) THE ROLE OF GOVERNOR CONSTITUTIONAL POSITION AND FUNCTIONS Prof. Mamata Sawakar Asst Professor of Political Science Govt First Grade College - Ranebennur. Abstract: The office of the Governor has a long history, though none too pleasant. Its colonial origin ethos and bureaucratic background naturally occasioned animated discussions in the Constituent Assembly on such aspect as the appointment, assigned to him a somewhat complex role - he was made a component of the State apparatus as well as a link between the Union and the federating unit, the latter in particular investing him with " a significance for national integration and for the preservation of national standards." There was his seemingly irreconcilable dual role for the first two decades after independence in view of the existence of political harmony resulting from the functioning of virtual one- party rule in the country. Consequently, the Constitution operated as a unitary one not even with subsidiary federal features. For the beginning, the Governor tended to be an "ornamental sinecure" concerned mostly In in they report. national Assembly. of has of making individual expires. deranged been views is Ram uniform the (1988) here is the power irrational study majority suspect.
