Question

Explain the factors which helped vv giri to become the president of India

Answer 1

Answer:

Giri was sworn in as President of India on 24 August 1969 and held office till 24 August 1974 when he was succeeded by Fakhruddin Ali Ahmed. On his election, Giri became the only president to have also been an acting president and the only person to be elected president as an independent candidate.

As president, Giri unquestioningly accepted Prime Minister Indira Gandhi's decision to sack the Charan Singh ministry in Uttar Pradesh and advised her to go in for early elections in 1971. The ordinance abolishing privy purses and privileges of the erstwhile rulers of India's princely states was promulgated by Giri after the government's original amendment was defeated in the Rajya Sabha. His advice to Prime Minister Gandhi against the appointement of A.N. Ray as the Chief Justice of India superseding three judges senior to him was ignored by her as was his warning that a crackdown on striking railwaymen would only exacerbate the situation. As president, Giri made 14 state visits to 22 countries in South and South East Asia, Europe and Africa.

Giri is regarded as a president who completely subordinated himself to the prime minister and has been described as a "Prime Minister’s President",a loyalist president and a rubber stamp president under whom the independence of the office eroded. When Giri's term ended in 1974, Prime Minister Indira Gandhi chose not to renominate him to the presidency and instead chose Fakhruddin Ali Ahmed, who was elected in the presidential election of 1974.

Answer 2

Explanation:

• Varahagiri Venkata Giri (1894 –1980) was an Indian politician and activist and also served as India's 4th president from 24 August 1969 to 24 August 1974 and 3rd vice president from 13 May 1967 to 3 May 1969.
• President Zakir Hussain died in office on 3 May 1969, and Giri was sworn in as acting president the same day.
• Following Giri's election, an election petition was filed in the Supreme Court of India, challenging his legitimacy on the grounds that he influenced voters through unethical means. Giri elected to appear in person before the Court as a witness, which is rare for an incumbent president of India.
• The petition was eventually dismissed, and Giri's election as president was confirmed.
