Rajiv Gandhi, who was chosen today to become Indias new Prime Minister after the assassination of his mother, Indira, was propelled into public life after his younger, more politically ambitious brother, Sanjay, died in a stunt plane crash in 1980. At the time, Sanjay was regarded as his mothers likely successor and, after Mrs. Gandhi, the most powerful politician in the country. Sanjays death left a vacuum that Mrs. Gandhi and her followers urged Rajiv to fill. Rajiv, who is now 40 years old, apparently reluctantly resigned his job with Indian Airlines and agreed to contest an electoral race to fill Sanjays seat in Parliament the next year. He won the election by a large margin, promising to rid Indian politics of corruption and venality, a campaign that earned him the nickname Mr. Clean.
