Across the State, the Congress leaders garlanded the statues of Rajiv Gandhi and exhorted cadre to emulate the ideals of the late Prime Minister. The Chief Minister, Y.S.Rajasekhara Reddy, who was on a tour of Visakhapatnam and North Telangana districts, called upon people to make sacrifices for the nation's development.
The AICC general secretary and incharge of AP Congress Affairs, Digvijay Singh, garlanded the statue of Rajiv Gandhi and the APCC president, K.Keshava Rao, addressed a rally at Charminar recalling the services of Rajiv Gandhi to the nation.
