On Rajiv Gandhi’s death anniversary, Rahul’s post for ‘wonderful father to me and Priyanka’

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Saturday posted a tribute to his father former prime minister Rajiv Gandhi remembering him as a visionary leader and a wonderful father whom he dearly misses. “My father was a visionary leader whose policies helped shape modern India,” Rahul Gandhi wrote along with a video of Rajiv Gandhi’s speech: ‘India is an old country but a young nation. And like the young everywhere, we are impatient. I am young and I too have a dream. I dream of India strong, independent, self-reliant and in the forefront and the front rank of the nations of the world, in the service of mankind. I am committed to realising that dream through dedication, hard work and the collective determination of our people.”

“This is what really helped my father. I could see this process taking place where he would go and meet people, get into their details, understand their details. And look at the big picture,” Rahul Gandhi says in the tribute video.
