NEW DELHI, Oct. 2, 2023 (TBINN)
Congress today paid rich tributes to former prime minister Lal Bahadur Shastri on his birth anniversary, with Rahul Gandhi saying that he empowered farmers and soldiers with his Jai Jawan, Jai Kisan slogan.
Congress’ president Mallikarjun Kharge paid floral tributes at the memorial of former prime minister at Vijay Ghat in National Capital.
In a post in Hindi on X, Kharge said, “From land reforms to laying the foundation of milk and green revolution, from abolishing the third class in railways to providing seats for women in buses, from the 1965 war to serving the country with Gandhian ideas – our ideal, we remember the extraordinary contribution of former Prime Minister Lal Bahadur Shastri ji.” “The simplicity of Shastri ji’s life, richness of his thoughts, will always be inspirational for us,” he said.
