CM Revanth Reddy paid tribute to former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi on his death anniversary and said that the India Grand Alliance is ready to support the Women’s Reservation Bill in Parliament.

The Chief Minister stressed that reservation for women in legislative bodies should be implemented with the inspiration of Rajiv Gandhi, who had introduced quota for women in local bodies for the political empowerment of women.

Describing the late leader as a great visionary, he said that it was Rajiv Gandhi who introduced information technology in the country and gave it global recognition.
He said, “Rajiv Gandhi was the person who ushered in the era of technology in the country and led the country on the path of development through liberalization policies.”
