As the leader stepped out into the 102° summer sizzle of New Delhi, Narain held out a scented handkerchief. Brushing the offer aside, Desai snapped: "You put perfume here, but you spread a bad smell about the party elsewhere." With that retort the Prime Minister triggered a crisis in his 16-month-old government that led to the resignation of two Cabinet ministers, fractured the fragile unity of the ruling Janata Party...
