19 March

19 March 1998.
 Atal Bihari Vaajpayee sworn in as 16'th Prime Minister of India.
More important thing to note in this appointment was the national agenda of BJP.
They declared they would keep the "nuclear options open."
Pakistan foreign ministry said National agenda of BJP led government is a "worrisome" document.
They also said that this could start a deadly nuclear arms race in the Indian sub-continent.
As we all know India did conduct 5 nuclear tests at Pokharan later in May and Pakistan followed.
More on that on 12'th May.
