Neelam Sanjeev Reddy was voted unopposed, the only President to be nominated and elected thus, after being unanimously backed by 'all political parties' including the 'opposition Congress party'. At the 'age of 64', he became the 'youngest person' to be elected as the 'Indian President'.
EXPLANATION:
- There were many records created by the 6th President Neelam Sanjiva Reddy, who was elected from the Lok Sabha's directly. In the years 1967 and 1977, he was the President twice, after being overwhelmingly supported by all parties including the Congress Alliance. Moreover, he was not just the first President elected in the July 1977 era during the Janata Non-Congress system, but also the only one elected unopposed.
- The election took place just a few months after the lifting of the emergency. In addition, he was 'the youngest' to occupy 'Rashtrapati Bhavan', that is, when he took charge he was only sixty-five years old. Sanjiva Reddy's other interesting record is that he was the 'only serious candidate' for the office of president who contested twice.
- In August 1969 and in the elections of 1977, he fought against Giri. On March 17, 1967 Sanjiva Reddy was elected Speaker of the Lok Sabha from Hindupur, Andhra Pradesh. On 19 July 1969, after being nominated to Congress as a candidate by Indira, he resigned to contest the presidential election.
