Last January Mrs. Gandhi's Congress (I) Party gave its rough response. Party militants led street riots against the Chief Minister, and in the ensuing violence nine people were killed and hundreds injured. In March Mrs. Gandhi asked the state governor to impose a form of direct rule that would bypass Abdullah and his government. When the governor refused, he was replaced by a Gandhi loyalist. Congress (I) Party politicians then secretly promised state government cabinet posts to twelve National Conference Party assemblymen, led by Abdullah's brother-in-law, in exchange for their agreement to abandon...
