An emotional tweet was posted by daughter Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on the occasion of former prime minister Rajiv Gandhi’s 75th birth anniversary on Tuesday.
Priyanka thanked her father for everything she has “learned” from him. The Congress leader also posted a short poem by American poet EE Cummings with a throwback photo of herself and Rajiv Gandhi.
She wrote: “From my father, I learned how to listen to people’s stories and find a place in my heart for them no matter how contrary to mine they might be. From him, I learned how to keep smiling and keep walking no matter how difficult the path might be. #RajivGandhi75 #SadbhavanaDiwas.”
