This Rally was first time organised on 21st May 2010. The support from the leaders and party workers was immense and it was evolved as a memorial event paying tribute to Rajiv Gandhi on a yearly basis.
Due to security reasons and inconvenience to reach the main venues of Vir Bhoomi, AICC, DPCC and IYC offices, lakhs of congress workers, supporters and people with regard for Rajiv Gandhi were deprived of paying public tribute to Rajiv Gandhi. For a facilitation to mass tribute, Congress South Indian Forum started ‘Rajiv Jyothi’ from Veer Bhoomi and moved around Delhi and paved way for millions of people in Delhi to pay floral tribute to Rajiv Gandhi at Rajiv Jyothi. This innovative and people oriented program ensured the participation of hundreds of congress leaders and was applauded by senior congress leaders. Congress South Indian Forum sees it as a credible recognition and draws inspiration to conduct more people oriented programs to strengthen congress party.
