Did you know, the president of original @INCIndia S Nijalingappa expelled Indira Gandhi from Congress in 1969?

He also said, usually suspension is for a certain period, but expelling her means lifelong...

The cause for her expulsion from Congress was power tussle. In Nehru& #39;s
Words,
"Morarji Desai has rectitude, ability, efficiency and fairness".
And he wanted Morarji to be PM after his death, but younger colleague Lal Bahadur Shastri became the PM, Indira hadn& #39;t anticipated Shastri& #39;s stature will grow beyond Nehru, but certain events in next 3 yrs
Made LBS immensely popular, his untimely death due to poisoning (I& #39;m not sure whether Indira killed her, but I& #39;m 100% Sure, She Didn& #39;t Want The Killer To Be Identified. WHY?)

After LBS death, the true leaders of original Congress wanted Morarji to guide Bharat & Power Hungry
Indira engineered a split, with most bootlickers on her side (few out of fear) the Indira Congress or Congress - I established authority over original Congress at Congress parliamentary meeting on Nov 11, 1969.
