| Gangacharan Rajput, a Congress party member, threatens to shoot himself if Sonia Gandhi backs out of becoming India’s prime minister, outside the party’s headquarters in New Delhi, earlier in the day May 18, 2004. Sonia Gandhi, heir to India’s Nehru-Gandhi dynasty, tearfully gave up her chance to become prime minister on Tuesday to protect her new Congress government from damaging attacks over her Italian birth. |
