With the help of the Communist Party of India, Russia had converted India into its colony. They knew they had failed to install their own man as Prime Minister of India, but they would again try to remove Rajiv Gandhi from power, kill him, and then install their own man as Prime Minister of India.Ultimately, they were successful in removing Rajiv Gandhi from power, killing him, and bringing their own man, Atal Bihari Vajpayee, as Prime Minister of India.Rajiv Gandhi’s life was in great danger due to the threat from the LTTE. Rajiv Gandhi was not only the Leader of the Opposition, but as Leader of the Opposition, he had 197 MPs, whereas V.P. Singh’s Janata Dal had only 141 MPs. His status was that of a Cabinet Minister, but his security was reduced from high-risk security. He was denied even the security of a Leader of the Opposition.He got only one constable as security, and V.P. Singh and I.K. Gujral had not provided him even the security given to an MLA. R. Venkataraman and Subramanian Swamy made the way clearer for the LTTE to kill Rajiv Gandhi. Later, Subramanian Swamy, as a senior minister in Chandra Shekhar’s government, spoiled the investigation.Siddhartha Shankar Ray installed P.V. Narasimha Rao as Prime Minister. Later, Chandra Swamy and Subramanian Swamy further spoiled the investigation into Rajiv Gandhi’s assassination.Narasimha Rao had kept two loyalists of Rajiv Gandhi, Oscar Fernandes and Arun Singh, away from power. When Sitaram Kesri became Congress President, Sonia Gandhi ordered Sitaram Kesri to appoint Oscar Fernandes as General Secretary of the Congress, in charge of Odisha and West Bengal.Oscar Fernandes had revived the old Rajiv Gandhi team when Sonia Gandhi recaptured the Congress for the Indira-Rajiv Gandhi family. Under the able leadership of Sonia Gandhi, the team left by Rajiv Gandhi – Sonia Gandhi, Oscar Fernandes and one other – had defeated Jyoti Basu. Atal Bihari Vajpayee put a Prime Minister of her choice, converting Pranab Mukherjee as a servant cleaning the floor of Rajiv Gandhi. Jyoti Basu, saluting Sonia Gandhi and calling her Maa Kali, later spoiled the foul play of Jyoti Basu.Bringing Mulayam Singh Yadav and Amar Singh to her side, she made a free UPA government from the CPM, and Manmohan Singh had won the battle when the Left had withdrawn support.
