Rajiv Gandhi's tenure, from 1984 to 1989, remains a significant chapter in Indian politics. He was tragically assassinated in 1991 by the LTTE, a militant group from Sri Lanka, while on a campaign trail in Tamil Nadu's Sriperumbudur.
Today, his political legacy continues through his son, Rahul Gandhi, who serves as the Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha.
