Ghanti Bajao: Did Indira Gandhi wanted to encounter George Fernandes?

A wave of sorrow swept across Bihar Tuesday following the death of veteran socialist leader George Fernandes, who had virtually adopted the state as his second home and political 'karmabhoomi', representing its various constituencies in Parliament for a period spanning over four decades.

Condolences poured in from all quarters, with Chief Minister Nitish Kumar declaring a two-day state mourning.
