On the occasion of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s 75th birthday on September 17, leaders from across the political spectrum took to social media to convey their greetings.

Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi wrote on X, “Wishing Prime Minister Narendra Modi ji a happy birthday and good health.” Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge also shared his wishes, saying, “Best wishes to Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi Ji on his birthday. May he be blessed with good health and long life.”

Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) chief Sharad Pawar extended warm regards, stating, “On the occasion of your birthday, I extend my warm greetings and good wishes to you... I wish for the continued progress of our nation under your able guidance.”

Several other leaders also joined in. Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav wrote, “Heartfelt birthday greetings to the Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji, along with best wishes for a healthy, meaningful, harmonious, inclusive, and positive life.” Trinamool Congress MP Shatrughan Sinha shared a throwback picture with the Prime Minister, captioned, “Once a friend always a friend indeed!!!”

Born on September 17, 1950, in Vadnagar, a small town in Gujarat’s Mehsana district, Modi’s 75th birthday marks a milestone coinciding with new government initiatives for women’s health and nutrition.

To celebrate the occasion, the Centre launched two flagship programmes—‘Swasth Nari, Sashakt Parivar Abhiyaan’ and ‘Rashtriya Poshan Maah’ (National Nutrition Month). As part of the campaign, AIIMS Delhi will conduct medical check-up camps at four locations.
