Rahul, BJP Leaders Wish PM Modi On 75th Birthday

Leaders Across Political Spectrum Wish PM Narendra Modi on 75th Birthday

Prime Minister Narendra Modi turned 75 on Wednesday, September 17, and the occasion drew heartfelt wishes from across India’s political spectrum. Messages poured in not just from his party colleagues but also from opposition leaders, reflecting a moment of acknowledgment for the Prime Minister’s role in shaping India’s trajectory over the past decade.

While many praised his “extraordinary leadership,” others chose to focus on wishing him good health and long life. The day became a reminder that despite deep political divides, leaders across the aisle could unite to extend respect to the Prime Minister on such a milestone.

President Murmu’s Warm Words

President Droupadi Murmu’s wishes were particularly striking in tone and depth. In a heartfelt tweet, she wrote:

“By exemplifying the pinnacle of hard work through your extraordinary leadership, you have instilled a culture of achieving great goals in the country.

Her words emphasized not only his domestic leadership but also the growing recognition of Modi’s stature on the global stage.

Amit Shah Calls Modi a “Symbol of Sacrifice”

Union Home Minister Amit Shah paid tribute to Modi’s personal journey and character, calling him a “symbol of sacrifice and dedication.” Shah noted that the Prime Minister’s life story—from humble beginnings to the highest office—has been defined by relentless hard work and devotion to the nation. His message underlined the personal discipline and sacrifice that many in the BJP view as Modi’s defining qualities.

Rajnath Singh Praises Visionary Leadership

Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, too, expressed admiration for Modi’s leadership style. In his birthday greeting, he described the Prime Minister as an “illustrious leader” who had infused India with “new energy and new direction.”

He went on to highlight Modi’s focus on the welfare of the poor, self-reliance, and national development, adding that he prayed for the Prime Minister’s health, long life, and energy to continue steering India toward greater heights.

Opposition Leaders Extend Goodwill

Significantly, greetings also came from opposition leaders, including Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge and senior leader Rahul Gandhi. Their messages, though free of political undertones, reflected a tone of goodwill.

Kharge kept his message simple and respectful:

Rahul Gandhi, meanwhile, echoed similar sentiments, wishing Modi “good health” as he marked his 75th year. While political disagreements between Modi and the Congress leadership have often been sharp, the gesture carried a note of civility that stood out in India’s combative political climate.

What makes these greetings noteworthy is not just their content but their collective spirit. On most days, India’s political landscape is marked by heated exchanges, criticism, and sharp ideological divides. Yet, moments like these highlight the human side of politics—where respect for milestones transcends partisan boundaries.

For PM Modi, who has often spoken about discipline, service, and sacrifice, the flood of messages served as a reminder of the wide impact of his journey. For his supporters, the greetings reinforced the recognition he commands both at home and abroad. For critics, it was perhaps a day to put aside differences and acknowledge the significance of a leader turning 75.

Looking Ahead

As Modi begins another year of leadership, the expectations remain high. His allies hail his global vision and domestic reforms, while his critics continue to question his policies. Yet, the chorus of birthday wishes reflected one common theme—an acknowledgment of his resilience, energy, and unwavering commitment to public life even at an age when many would choose to slow down.

In the end, the birthday messages revealed more than just respect; they revealed the human side of Indian politics. Leaders may differ in ideology, strategy, and approach, but on a day like this, the message was clear: milestones deserve to be celebrated, and respect can bridge even the widest of divides.
