Talking to reporters, Gujarat Pradesh Congress Committee chief and MP Shaktisinh Gohil said that Rajiv Gandhi is credited with connecting the people of the country with the entire world.
“A communication revolution was born in the country and with that communication revolution, today a child born in a poor hut in a village has managed to travel the whole world with a mobile phone in his hand. Rajiv ji also reformed the Constitution to make the country’s 50 per cent women equal partners in politics and include the youth and took the country into the 21st century. Rajiv ji is credited with rejuvenating India’s democracy by enfranchising 18-year-olds to vote,” Gohil stated.
India became a strong and progressive nation, he added.
“He is also credited with strengthening the foundations of the Panchayat through decentralisation of power and placing the power in the hands of the villagers. In 1987, 21st-century visionary Rajiv Gandhi’s visionary policies were implemented through the technology mission to provide universal immunisation, clean drinking water, education, and basic facilities. The result of which is the mobile and internet in the hands of the youth of the country today through which communication with the world can be established,” Gohil was quoted as saying in a statement.
