The man chose money before morals. He sold his people out. He was also power hungry. I remembered that he was bitter after Brindley Benn was elected. Remember the word "Rajput"? Rai was labeled Rajput, not sure if by himself or someone else. Maybe Gilly can recall this.
Declassified official US documents reveal that AFTER Balram Singh Rai was kicked out of the PPP and his Home Affairs Ministry, the US Administration decided to enlist his support to prevent Jagan's PPP from getting 51+ percent votes in the 1964 election. Through the CIA, the US urged him to form a political party which they agreed to subsidize heavily. Rai set up the Justice Party and contested with the aim of splitting the Indian vote. The rest is history.
