With 5,418 candidates from 27 different political parties, the Congress I Party of Rajiv Gandhi won a sweeping victory with at least 400 of the 508 searts in the Parliament. Just two months after he was propelled into power by his mother's assassination, Rajiv Gandhi has won decisive control of the world's largest democracy. He will attend to the position of Prime minister with confidence as he sets to work on appeasing the Sikh, accomodating the Muslims and bringing modern practices to a country that still venerates ageless traditions.
