HYDERABAD. Chief Minister Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy on Tuesday urged party cadres and leaders to re-dedicate themselves to the service of poor and strive to make former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi's dreams a reality.

He was speaking after inaugurating a blood donation camp at Gandhi Bhavan here to mark the 23rd death anniversary of Indira Gandhi. PCC president K. Keshava Rao and other leaders were present.

Dr. Reddy recalled that even three days before she was gunned down by a member of her security staff, she had, while addressing a public meeting in Orissa, expressed her wish to lay down her life for the cause of a strong and united India. Later, the Chief Minister distributed blankets to the poor at a function organised by Ashok Singh of the party's Linguistic Minorities' Cell.
