<P> In the 1952 elections, the first as a part of independent India, the Indian National Congress was the single largest party in the assembly . However, the congress could not form the government as it did not have a clean majority, and the Communist Party of India's led coalition appeared to be in a better position to form the government . Nevertheless, a congress government was formed in the state, and Chakravarti Rajagopalachari was selected by the cadres of the Congress party to rule the state . However, he was not an elected member of the Madras Legislative Assembly . Hence, he was nominated by the governor to the Legislative Council and took office as the chief minister of Madras state . </P> <P> Dr. P.C. Alexander, himself a former Tamil Nadu and Maharashtra governor, writes that the most conspicuous case of constitutional impropriety was the one by Sri Prakasa when he invited Rajagopalachari to form the government in the Madras state . During this time Potti Sriramulu called for a separate state named Andhra and went on an unconditional fast until his goal was achieved . He died following complications that arose during the fast, and violent riots broke out in the Telugu areas of Madras State . Jawaharlal Nehru had initially warned that this method of fasting to achieve administrative or political changes will put end to democratic government, but after death of Potti Sriramulu Nehru agreed to the demand for separate state of Andhra but refused to include Madras (now Chennai) city in Andhra . Serious allegations arouse that Rajaji did not intervene to break the fast or provide medical help for Sriramulu even though the fast had continued for over 50 days . On a side note, only one other person, Jatin Das, before Sriramulu, in modern Indian history actually fasted to death . In most cases they either gave up, were hospitalised or arrested and force fed . The State of Andhra was carved out of the Madras State in 1953, Rajaji remained aloof from the Andhra State and related issues . He removed controls on foodgrains and introduced a new education policy based on family vocation . According to this policy students had to go to school in the morning and to compulsorily learn the family vocation, like carpentry, masonry etc. after school . It was severely opposed as casteist and dubbed Kula Kalvi Thittam (Hereditary Education Policy) by his close friend Periyar who vehemently opposed it . This policy was under attack this from within the Congress as well as outside it . This ultimately led to his resignation in 1954 . </P> <Table> <Tr> <Td> Part of a series on the </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> History of Kerala </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Main (show) Megalithic culture <P> Maritime contacts Sangam period Tamilakam Cheras Ays Ezhil Malai Confluence of religions Venad - Kingdom of Quilon Calicut Kolattunadu Cochin Minor principalities Portuguese period Dutch period Rise of Travancore Mysorean interlude British Period Battle of Quilon Communism in Kerala </P> Unification of Kerala </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Other topics (show) Geography <P> Economy Architecture </P> Forts </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> <Ul> <Li> </Li> <Li> </Li> <Li> </Li> </Ul> </Td> </Tr> </Table> <Tr> <Td> Part of a series on the </Td> </Tr>
