Gulzari Lal Nanda - The Forgotten Prime Minister - JPEG Download

Gulzarilal Nanda (July 4, 1898 - January 15, 1998). He was the Prime Minister of India twice for short periods; once after the death of Jawaharlal Nehru in 1964 and again in 1966 after Lal Bahadur Shastri's death. On both occasions, his tenure lasted less than a month, his term ending upon the election of a new leader by the Indian National Congress (the ruling political party).
He never had a own house. He is also the only prime minister who did not own a house. It is said that he was thrown out of his rented house as he could not paid the rent.
I doubt how many of us know that Mr. Nanda was our Prime Minister for two times although acting.
I am attaching stamp issued in his memory.

Really worried. We see all those stuff about dirty politicians, but my post about one of the cleanest politician is not being read or no comments.
