Indira was forced to make him DPM/FM, but disliked his eccentricity, condescension and conservatism. WI he'd been chosen in the Congress leadership ballots of either 1964 or 1966? Would he transform the Indian economy from a socialist to a free-market one during his PMship? IOTL it took nearly 30 years with Rajiv, Rao and Manmohan Singh putting their weight behind that.
