New Delhi: Congress leader Malikarjun Kharge, Lok Sabha LoP and Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and other leaders paid floral tribute to former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi on her birth anniversary at the Samvidhan Sadan on Tuesday.

Born on November 19, 1917, to India's first Prime Minister Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru and Kamala Nehru, she served as the first and only woman prime minister from January 1966 to March 1977 and again from January 1980 until her assassination in October 1984.

She was the second longest-serving Prime Minister after Nehru and was well-known for path-breaking economic and social reforms, including the nationalisation of banks. She also abolished the privy purses of the erstwhile princely states.

Earlier today, Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra paid tribute to the former PM and penned down a post on social media X.

In her post, Priyanka wrote how her grandmother started the election campaigns in Maharashtra and was a firm believer of the tribal culture being the best and unique. (with Agency inputs)
