In his address, Rai recalled the  achievements of the late prime minister who he said was instrumental in  bringing significant changes in the  policies of the nation.

Apparently taking a dig at the BJP which had tried to eclipse Indira Gandhi’s death anniversary  by organising Sardar Patel birth anniversary celebrations on a large scale, Rai said each and every citizen of this land should respect those who have laid down their lives for the cause of the nation.

Congress leaders including Kodijal Ibrahim, Interim District Congress President, Ivan D’Souza, MLC,  Shashidhar Hegde, former mayor, PV Mohan, TK Sudhir and others were present.
