[letter from A P Jain]

Summary

This single-page English office letter, dated 14 November 1962 and issued on Swatantra Party Parliamentary Office letterhead, records the results of elections held in the party’s Parliamentary Group Committee Room at Parliament House. It lists the officers elected for the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha groups, together with their stated terms of office.

For the Lok Sabha, Prof. N. G. Ranga is listed as Leader for five years, while Shri P. K. Deo is Deputy Leader until March 1964. The letter also records the group’s secretaries, whips, treasurer, and executive committee members. For the Rajya Sabha, Shri Dahyabhai V. Patel is Leader for two years, Raja Anand Chand is Deputy Leader for one year, and Shri Loknath Misra is Secretary; the remaining officers and the executive committee are likewise enumerated. A handwritten marginal note appears to comment that the elections were actually held on 12 November, but the typed letter itself states that the election took place on 14 November.
