Singh election widens Gandhi's power base in India
Veteran politician Zail Singh won the Indian presidency in a landslide electoral college vote, becoming the first Sikh to hold the largely ceremonial post. The victory strengthens Prime Minister Indira Gandhi's grip as she aims to quell unrest in Punjab and manage a separatist movement amid political opposition. Singh's oath is set for July 25, with a presidency seen as aligning with Gandhi despite criticisms he may be a compliant voice.
