Congress leaders also gathered to honour Rajiv Gandhi's memory. Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge, Congress Parliamentary Party Chairperson Sonia Gandhi, and MP Rahul Gandhi paid homage at Veer Bhumi in Delhi.

Other notable Congress figures, including P Chidambaram and Sachin Pilot, also paid their respects.

Rajiv Gandhi assumed leadership of the Congress in 1984 after the assassination of his mother, Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. At 40, he became India's youngest Prime Minister, taking office in October 1984 and serving until December 2, 1989.

Born on August 20, 1944, Rajiv Gandhi was tragically assassinated by a Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) suicide bomber during an election rally in Sriperumbudur, Tamil Nadu, on May 21, 1991.

Rajiv Gandhi's tenure as Prime Minister is remembered for various reforms and initiatives aimed at modernising India and promoting technological advancement. His contributions to the country's development are commemorated by leaders and citizens alike on his death anniversary.
