Remembering Rajiv Gandhi on the anniversary of his tragic death.
He was one of the warmest, most decent human beings to become Prime Minister of India. With him, what you saw was what you got; there was no deviousness, no subterfuge & certainly, no megalomania.
When he made mistakes he admitted it. When he felt he had been unfair to people he apologised. And despite growing up in a political family he never let the cynicism that characterises Indian politics get to him.
We often forget that he may have been the first Indian PM to have ever held a regular job, to have paid income tax and PF. This gave him an understanding of how salaried people in India lived & how the system was tilted against them. During his time taxes were lowered,the stock
market boomed and India prepared for the digital age.
He went too soon. If he had lived he would have returned to power sooner rather than later. By the time he died, he had learned from the early mistakes that his inexperience led him to make & was ideally placed to lead India into the 21 st Century and to forge a society
that had no room for divisiveness & hatred. As even his critics will concede, he was at heart a unifier, signing accords in Punjab, Assam & Mizoram, ending conflicts and building a better India.

"During Operation Sindoor, we didn't even cross each other's border. Technological advancement is so immense. Pakistan has better weapons and equipment. Destruction of Rafales & S400 systems is a testament to their superiority over India. We need to improve our equipments."
Bihari’s sold each day for the next five years for 5 rupees 47 paisa. Simple math 10000 rupees divided by 1825 days till next state elections
Jai Ho Bhaiya ji’s ki. 🤣
If nothing else, the last nine months should have made it clear that elections matter. But what’s remarkable about America is that we have the power, as citizens, to change this country by voting. Go to https://t.co/NKXRGNgbZX.
Dear Godi media of the BJP, try listening to Srinivasan Jain once in a while.
That is how real questions are asked to those in power, not the scripted flattery you serve every night.
Exclusive: ‘Is 10,000 rupees to 1.51 crore women a game-changer in Bihar?’ ‘Money being given to women just before elections is a BRIBE but EC is silent and won’t act’ says @yadavtejashwi ..
@NitishKumar I am older than you and I am born and brought up in Patna. It was a beautiful city, clean roads , elegant people, five schools and colleges , medical facilities, adequate public transport.
You have destroyed Patna and turned it into a glorified village with no civil amenities
