BACKED BY LEADERS Backed by party kingmakers, Mrs. Gandhi defeated rightist Morarji Desai 350 to 169 when Congress party members of Parliament elected a new ma- jority leader. She was automa- tically asked to form a new gov- ernment and will be sworn in as prime minister Monday. The conservative Praja Soci- alist party warned Mrs, Gandhi it will be watching her selec- tion of cabinet ministers because "much will depend on the col- leagues she chooses."
