The Congress party nominated who among the following for the Presidential election, 1969?

Sanjeeva Reddy

The official Congress Party nominated Sanjeeva Reddy for the Presidential election, 1969.

The defeat of the official Congress candidate formalised the split in the party. The Congress President expelled the Prime Minister from the party; she claimed that her group was the real Congress. By November 1969, the Congress group led by the ‘syndicate’ came to be referred to as the Congress (Organisation) and the group led by Indira Gandhi came to be called the Congress (Requisitionists).
