Rivalry Between Indira Gandhi & Maharani Gayatri Devi #shorts
In 1962, Gayatri Devi contested the Lok Sabha elections from Jaipur, and won by a landslide majority, 192,909 votes out of 246,516 – 78% – a world record margin according to multiple reports at the time. She was a fiery, beautiful, brilliant and a royal reformer who raised her voice against many social issues and Indira Gandhi.
And her growing popularity and her growth political party named Swatantra Party was a great threat for the Congress party.
However, during Emergency, Prime Minister Indira Gandhi had several people imprisoned. Opposition leaders, journalists and others she viewed as a threat were incarcerated during the Emergency.
Among those targeted by Gandhi was the then Princess of Cooch Bihar, third Maharani of Jaipur, Rajmata Gayatri Devi. Gayatri Devi was thrown in Tihar Jail in 1975, shortly after Indira Gandhi declared Emergency. @factopriest
