Rajiv’s single term as PM will be remembered: Cong on birth anniversary

New Delhi: The Congress on Saturday paid rich tributes to former prime minister Rajiv Gandhi on his birth anniversary, saying his single term as PM will be remembered for far-reaching achievements, including deepening the foundations of the IT revolution that has transformed India.
Former Congress chief Rahul Gandhi and party general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra visited their father’s memorial, Veer Bhumi, and paid homage on his 78th birth anniversary in the morning.
“Papa, you are always with me, in my heart. I will always try to fulfil the dream that you saw for the country,” Rahul Gandhi said in a tweet in Hindi.
He also shared a video and picture montage on Rajiv Gandhi.
In a Facebook post in Hindi, Priyanka Gandhi said, “My father Shri Rajiv Gandhi had laid the roadmap for 21st century India before the country. An India in which the power of the youth, the power of villages, the potential of women, the use of new technologies, finds expression.” Steps like information revolution, communication revolution, Panchayati Raj, right to vote at 18 years were steps to strengthen this expression, she added.
