Prime Minister Narendra Modi

Leaders from India and across the world wished Prime Minister Narendra Modi on his turning 70 on Thursday.

President Ram Nath Kovind greeted PM Modi, saying he prayed to God that the PM stays healthy and happy and the country continues to receive his invaluable services. Congress former president Rahul Gandhi tweeted his birthday wishes for PM Modi. #HappyBirthdayPMModi was trending on Twitter.

Nepal Prime Minister KP Singh Oli also wished Modi on his birthday and promised to continue to work closely towards strengthening bilateral relations, which have been frosty of late. Russian President Vladimir Putin said he looked forward to continue constructive dialogue with the PM and work closely on bilateral and international agenda.

Home Minister Amit Shah said the Prime Minister is devoted to the nation’s service and the welfare of the poor. Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal wished Modi a long and healthy life.

As part of celebrations on the PM’s birthday, the BJP has organised several events. Reports said a 70-kg laddu has been prepared on the occasion. Earlier, the party had decided to celebrate PM Modi’s birthday by observing a week of service, Seva Saptah, from September 14 to 20. But given the coronavirus outbreak this year, the BJP will distribute masks, sanitisers and medicines. Since becoming PM, Modi has celebrated his birthday by either meeting his mother or the people.

With Twitter awash with greetings on the PM’s birthday, the opposition is running #NationalUnemploymentDay as well in protest against the growing unemployment and to highlight PM Modi’s failure in creating jobs. In a tweet, Rahul Gandhi blamed the Modi government for the increasing unemployment amid the economic crisis. He said the youth of the county have been forced into calling September 17 #NationalUnemploymentDay due to massive unemployment. The Modi government cannot deny the jobless youth their dignity by not generating enough jobs for them.

The hashtag on unemployment is targeted at the PM, who has over 60.9 million followers on Twitter and the official Twitter handle of the Prime Minister’s Office has 37.9 million followers.
