Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis paid tribute to former prime minister Rajiv Gandhi on his 75th birth anniversary.
Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Jai Ram Thakur and other leaders also paid rich homage to the former late Prime Minister by paying floral tributes on his statue at Sadbhavana Chowk in Shimla today.
