Being Prime Minister - Rajiv Gandhi - Congress

Rajiv Gandhi:-
Tenure: - 31 October 1984 To 2 December 1989. 5 Years 32 Days.
PARTY: - INDIAN NATIONAL CONGRESS.
Family and Political Background:-
Rajiv Gandhi was born on 20 August 1944 in Mumbai. He was grandson of India’s first Prime Minister and son of India’s Third Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. He has made her schooling at Doon School and went to Cambridge, London in 1961. He didn’t finish his degree and came back to India in 1965. He took admission to Flying Club, became a Pilot, and joined Air India as a pilot.
As far as political background is concerned, he has no interest in politics at a primary stage. After the death of his younger brother Sanjay Gandhi in Plane crash on 23 June 1980 he entered politics on 16 February 1981.  He was elected from Amethi. In December 1981 he was elected as Indian Youth Congress president.  He has made a major role for the success of 1982 Asian Games.
After Indira Gandhi’s assassination, he became the Youngest Prime Minister of India on 31 October 1984.
Work Performance:-
As young man people of India have big expectations with him especially to young generation of that time like me. Rajiv Gandhi has also started well with a dream to make India a leading power of 21st Century. He played a superb role to enter computerisation in office. He was very keen for preparing India for the 21st century. He sought to increase investment in modern technology. He tried well to change India with his “vision” for India. He has a very good chance with complete majority to build India but due to his limitations of understanding, even after not containing political problems afflicting India, he could not do much notable.
Rajiv Gandhi has increased government support for science, technology and associated industries, and reduced import quotas, taxes and tariffs on technology-based industries, especially computers, airlines, defence and telecommunications. He also made a National Policy on Education to modernise and expand higher education programs across India. His efforts created MTNL in 1986 and his public call offices known as PCOs helped develop the telephone network in rural areas. He introduced measures to significantly reduce the Licence Raj after 1990.

Miss:-
In fact he found refuge in international entanglements commitments like sending Indian Peace Keeping Force to Sri Lanka. His office was marred by scandals and allegations for corruption on large scale. He had received "kick-backs" from a Swedish company manufacturing Bofors machine-guns.
Rajiv Gandhi had shuffled cabinet ministers many times, showing his confusion. His Parliamentary debates were notoriously prosaic and dull. Rajiv Gandhi’s years can describe as not having contributed in healthy way to the political life of the nation. Even after becoming Prime Minister, he was known as New in Politics because he has been appointed on this post within 3-4 years of being a politician.
He has been criticised for long on SHAH BANO CASE in which he had overruled Supreme Court of India by passing The Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Divorce) Act 1986, which nullified the Supreme Court's judgment favouring Muslim divorcee.
Sending Indian Peace Keeping Force to Sri Lanka was also a non-popular decision.
With Big expectation even after full majority Rajiv Gandhi failed at some level. His office itself converted in corruption and allegations. His former Finance Minister V.P. Singh opened some secret boxes and ruined his all credential works.

Rajiv Gandhi was the First and Last victim of corruption. Before or After, people had never punished any Prime Minister for just corruption.
