Who among the following prime ministers of India told a journalist that : ‘The congress has become moribund, ‘adding’ sometimes I feel that even the parliamentary system has become moribund’.
Indira Gandhi
The remark reflects the mood of Indira Gandhi, who fought the old Congress organisation, split the party in 1969 and centralised power around herself.
In the mid-1970s, around the Emergency, she and her circle openly doubted the parliamentary model and even floated the idea of a presidential system, which matches her comment to the journalist.
Lal Bahadur Shastri, V. P. Singh and H. D. Deve Gowda never voiced such a dismissal of both the party and the parliamentary system.
Hence, Indira Gandhi.
