Good to see CM Revanth Reddy remembering both Gandhi ji and Lal Bahadur Shastri ji. "Jai Jawan, Jai Kisan" is as relevant today as it was then. Our farmers and soldiers truly deserve our respect.

While the tribute is appreciated, I wish our leaders would practice Gandhi ji's principles in daily governance. Truth and non-violence should guide policy-making too, not just ceremonial occasions.

Nice to see bipartisan tribute with both Congress and BRS leaders paying respects. Gandhi ji belongs to all Indians, beyond party politics. His ideals should unite us all.

The all-faith prayers meeting is exactly what Gandhi ji stood for - unity in diversity. In today's polarized times, we need to remember this message more than ever.
