Q. Who became the acting prime minister of India after the death of Jawaharlal Nehru in 1964? Answer:
Gulzarilal Nanda
Notes: Gulzarilal Nanda was the acting Prime Minister of India for two short periods following the deaths of Jawaharlal Nehru in 1964 and Lal Bahadur Shastri in 1966. Both his terms came at sensitive times because of the potential danger to the country following Nehru's death soon after a war with China in 1962 and Shastri's death after a war with Pakistan in 1965.
