The Congress, from its official Twitter handle, tweeted, ”India’s youngest Prime Minister. The architect of 21st Century India. The visionary, the pioneer, the patriot. Today we pay homage to Bharat Ratna, Rajiv Gandhi and celebrate his immense contributions to the nation.” Born in 1944, Gandhi was the prime minister from 1984 to 1989. He was assassinated in 1991.
