Nitin Gadkari : An immense pleasure to see 21 islands of Andaman and Nicobar renamed after 21 Param Vir Chakra awardees by PM Shri Narendra Modi Ji. Titling isles on the 126th birth anniversary of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose fills the heart of every Indian with pride. A true patriotic effort to remember the brave sons of Mother India.
