Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik paid tributes to Mahatma Gandhi and former Prime Minister Lal Bahadur Shastri on their birth anniversaries on Wednesday.
Noting that Gandhian values would remain relevant forever, Patnaik appealed to the people to work towards eradicating poverty, violence, injustice and inequality.
Remembering Lal Bahadur Shashtri, he tweeted, "Humble tributes to former Prime Minister #LalBahadurShastri on his birth anniversary. He was a freedom fighter, patriot and his golden words, "Jai Jawan, Jai Kisan" is still a guiding force to build a strong and powerful nation."
