Rajiv Gandhi's Speech :
The character of a person or an organization is formed in the early years. As the Congress celebrates its centenary, we should remember that for nearly two-thirds of the period it was a party of struggle. Its toil and sacrifices in the years of struggle earned for the Congress the trust of the people of India.
Since 1947 the Congress has held office at the Centre except for a brief interval and also in many of the States. It has devoted itself to giving form and substance to the objectives that it had placed before the people as the ingredients of freedom.
