Congress celebrates birth anniversary of Rajiv Gandhi in UP

Lucknow, Aug 20 (UNI) The Uttar Pradesh Congress today organised several programmes, particularly a 'Bheem Bhoj' to celebrate the 72nd birth anniversary of late Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi.
UPCC president Raj Babbar garlanded Rajiv’s statue and asked the Congressmen to take pledge that they all will follow the path shown by the former prime minister. He said that every Party leader should be ready to devote his life for welfare of common man and not even hesitate to sacrifice their lives just like Rajivji or Indira Gandhi had done to safe guard communal harmony of the nation. Babbar also attended Bheem Bhoj (community feast) organised by the Party to have lunch with Dalits.
Remembering the former prime minister here today, former state president, Dr Rita Bahuguna Joshi, described Rajiv Gandhi as an efficient administrator and a far sighted politician who gave a new direction to the country. "Besides bringing about a revolution in the field of information technology, the former prime minister also took very significant steps towards implementation of development schemes at the rural level by vesting more powers in panchayati raj institutions," Joshi said while remembering Rajiv ji on his birth anniversary. It was Rajiv Gandhi who for the first time linked the country's youth to the political mainstream by granting them voting rights at the age of 18, she said.
