He used his discretionary powers as a president and deviated from convention and precedent in many situations, including – but not limited to – the appointment of the Prime Minister in a hung Parliament, in dismissing a state government and imposing President's rule there at the suggestion of the Union Cabinet, and during the Kargil conflict. He described himself as a "working president" who worked "within the four corners of the Constitution" something midway between an "executive president" who has direct power and a "rubber-stamp president" who endorses government decisions without question or deliberation. Narayanan is regarded as an independent and assertive president who set several precedents and enlarged the scope of India's highest constitutional office. He was the first person from the Dalit community to hold either post. Elected as vice president in 1992, Narayanan went on to become president in 1997. He entered politics at Indira Gandhi's request and won three successive general elections to the Lok Sabha and served as a Minister of State in Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi's cabinet. He served as ambassador to Japan, United Kingdom, Thailand, Turkey, China and United States and was referred to by Nehru as "the best diplomat of the country".
