the country for his simplicity and decisiveness.
Prime Minister Modi paid tribute to Gandhi on Twitter, writing,
"On Gandhi Jayanti, we pay tribute to Mahatma Gandhi. This Gandhi Jayanti

May we always strive to live up to Bapu's ideals. I also encourage you to buy
Khadi and handicrafts as a tribute to Gandhi Ji."
He paid tribute to Lal Bahadur Shastri by saying, "Lal
Bahadur Shastri Ji is revered throughout India for his clarity and
decisiveness. His tough leadership during a critical period in our history will
be remembered forever. On his Jayanti, we pay tribute to him."

life journey and achievements. PM Modi also shared audio clips of his previous
tributes to the two great leaders, which he gave on different occasions.
