Arun Nehru

Arun Nehru was a prominent Indian politician and member of the Congress party, known for being a cousin of former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi. He played a significant role in Rajiv Gandhi's political ascent but ultimately became a controversial figure during the Bofors scandal, which contributed to a rift within the party. Nehru's decision to leave Congress and join VP Singh's Janata Dal was pivotal in the party's defeat in the 1989 elections, marking a major shift in Indian political dynamics.
