When Shastri’s body was brought home, his mother, who would die nine months later, spotted bluish patches on her son. “Mere bitwa ko jahar de diya!” (My son has been poisoned!) she cried out.

Kuldip Nayyar after death of Nehru said, they are appointing LBS
to keep PM’s seat WARM for Indira, but LBS turned out to be a Great Statesman, Leader & proved him wrong, but also lost his life.
Today is the day to recall the great tragedy that befell India 57 years ago. For the first time in modern world history, a head of government

interrogated by anyone in the Soviet Union or in India despite his being the prime suspect”.
LBS’s sudden demise barely two years after his taking over as the Prime Minister shocked the nation so much so that deep down in our collective memory a pain lingers till date.

AND LEST WE FORGET, THAT HE WAS MURDERED & INDIRA GANDHI WAS BRIMMING WITH JOY WHEN LBS's BODY ARRIVED AT AIRPORT.

Had Shastriji lived for another five or ten years it is highly unlikely that Indira Gandhi would ever have become prime minister and it is certain that her son
would have never occupied that office.
Had LBS been given another five years on earth, there would have been no Nehru-Gandhi dynasty. Had Shastriji lived another five years, Sanjay Gandhi and Rajiv Gandhi would almost certainly have been still alive.

Sanjay Gandhi would have
been a failed entrepreneur and Rajiv Gandhi, a recently retired airline pilot with a passion for photography.

“Had Shastriji continued as prime minister until the end of the 1960s, the economic history of India would have turned out very differently.
In speeches made in 1965, LBS clearly indicated that he would like to open up the market to enterprise and free competition.

Sadly, he died soon afterwards. Instead of trusting to the energy of the private sector, Indira strengthened the control of the state over the economy.
Had fate given LBS longer innings, the Indian economy could've been more robust & resilient as he was a pragmatic reformer.

He would have freed the processes of production from state control and also initiated welfare measures to ameliorate poverty. As a man of vision and integrity, he would have also sought to improve the performance of India’s public institutions.
So, the questions which arise are
So, the questions which arise are
1 Was he poisoned to make place for Indira?
2 Was he killed because he could’ve transformed Ailing India into Super power?
3 According to rumours, he met Netaji at Tashkent, did this incident cut short his life?

Dr Chugh, his wife and two sons were run over by a truck in 1977. Only his daughter survived—crippled.

Several times during his on-oath deposition, Kodesia stated that “Shastriji was one person” who did not believe in Netaji’s death in a plane crash. “When he became Home Minister…he wanted to know the truth whether Subhas Bose was alive or not.” Kodesia felt that “after he
became the Prime Minister…[Shastri] was emphatically working that there should be a fresh probe into Netaji’s disappearance
The death was painful & what troubles more is REASON FOR HIS DEATH is still unknown.
