It is certainly no conventional election when ranking opposition leaders not only concede defeat in advance, but actually imply, as did a Socialist leader, that the Congress Party should arrange the victory of enough opposition deputies to keep up democratic appearances. Nehru's great personal stature enhanced his attractive power in the case of the Congress Party, and as a result telling opposition to Congress, the symbol of nationalism, comes more from parochial local candidates than from organized national parties.
