PM Modi’s birthday: Wishes pour in from world leaders amid prayers and BJP’s ‘sewa’

Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma greeted Prime Minister Narendra Modi and said the northeastern state has touched many milestones under his leadership.

“Heartfelt birthday greetings and best wishes to the true son of Mother India, the visionary of the era, India’s resounding voice on the global stage, our guide, the esteemed Prime Minister Shri @narendramodi ji,” Sarma said in a post on X.

Sarma said under the PM’s leadership, Assam has touched many milestones and was scaling new heights every day.

“I pray to Maa Kamakhya and Srimanta Sankaradeva that they grant you long life, excellent health, and boundless energy; and that under your able leadership, we all remain forever dedicated to the tasks of nation service and public welfare,” he said.

The Assam government will observe the PM's birthday week, beginning Wednesday as 'Seva Saptah', dedicated to service, compassion and people's welfare, the CM said.

“On the 75th birthday of Adarniya Pradhan Mantri Shri @narendramodi Ji, Assam joins the nation in celebrating Seva Saptah, a tribute to his vision of Seva Parmo Dharma,” he said in another post.

“From mega health camps & plantation drives to blood donation, honouring young talents & supporting TB patients, Assam Govt will dedicate this week to service, compassion and people’s welfare,” Sarma added.

Union Home Minister Amit Shah greeted Narendra Modi on Wednesday, saying the prime minister has been working tirelessly for people's welfare for more than five decades, and he is a living inspiration of the “nation first” motto for every citizen.

In a series of posts in Hindi on X with #HappyBdayPMModi, Shah also said Modi, who brought “purity to the system, firmness to decisions, and clarity to policies”, has accomplished the task of placing the deprived, backwards, poor, women and tribals at the centre of governance.

“Symbol of sacrifice and dedication, inspiration for crores of countrymen, heartfelt wishes to Prime Minister Narendra Modi ji on his 75th birthday. Modi, who has been working tirelessly for the welfare of the country for more than five decades in social life, is a living inspiration of 'nation first' for every citizen.”

The home minister said from the Sangh to the party and in the government, Modi's journey in life shows the possibility of extensive transformations when resolve is as unwavering as the Himalayas and vision is as vast as the ocean, Shah said. “The entire nation takes pride in Modi, who has brought unimaginable changes to the lives of crores of citizens and connected them to the journey of building a developed and self-reliant India,” he said.

Shah said that for the past four decades, he has had the opportunity to observe Modi in various roles — whether as an RSS pracharak, the BJP's organisational general secretary, chief minister of Gujarat, or as the country's prime minister for the past 11 years.

“Modi has always placed the nation first and himself last. Workers like me are fortunate to have had the chance to work with him in every role he has undertaken,” he said.

The home minister said no matter what the responsibility is, Modi has always promoted constructive actions and decisions. “It is a matter of joy for all of us, BJP workers, that every decision of his has always advanced the country.” Shah said Modi has worked to deliver world-class infrastructure in the last 11 years in areas where development was far off and people didn't even communicate.

“The longest bridge in Assam, the world's highest Chenab railway bridge in Kashmir, semiconductor units, digital public infrastructure — these are symbols of India becoming number one in every field under the Modi government,” he said.

“Today, when even vegetable vendors proudly display UPI, the meaning of being Narendra Modi becomes clear,” Shah said.

The home minister said that once it was said that development and the economy cannot function together, but Modi has shown how the welfare of the poor and the rise of the economy can happen in parallel.

Under Modi's leadership, India has risen to the largest economy from being the 11th in the world; the IMF has called India a bright spot in the global economy, and the country's growth rate has been the highest in the world, he said.

“Today, 60 crore people in India are coming out of poverty, and the country is also becoming a leader in the global economy. This was possible only in the Modi era,” Shah said.

“Seeing problems with foresight and resolving them with complete dedication is a special trait of Modi's personality. The entire world recognises him as a problem-solving leader,” he said.

Shah said that in an era of wars, tensions, and global lobbies, Modi has emerged as a bridge of dialogue before the entire world. For this reason, 27 countries have honoured 'Vishwa-Mitra' Modi with their highest civilian awards, indicative of his global leadership, he said.

The home minister added that under the leadership of Modi, India has become the centre of global aspirations. "From the Moon's south pole to the depths of the ocean in Dwarka, he has brought glory to both heritage and science." "Under his leadership, India is setting new milestones in the space sector. From indigenous Covid vaccines and indigenous defence systems to startups, innovation, ensuring fair prices for farmers' crops, and up to the manufacturing mission, Modi is building an India that is self-reliant in every sector," he added.

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Wednesday greeted Prime Minister Narendra Modi on his 75th birthday, describing him as the torchbearer of the hopes and aspirations of 1.4 billion Indians.

“Heartiest birthday greetings to the illustrious Prime Minister Narendra Modi ji, the torchbearer of the hopes and aspirations of 1.4 billion Indians, who has positioned 'New India' in the front row on the global stage, the world's most popular politician, the guide for all of us, and the one who has realised the vision of 'Ek Bharat, Shreshth Bharat'!” said Adityanath in Hindi on X.

He said Modi's “unparalleled” determination, sensitive leadership, and unwavering dedication to the nation above all and the spirit of public welfare have elevated 'New India' to new heights of hope, self-confidence, and self-reliance.

“On behalf of 25 crore residents of the state, we pray to Lord Shri Ram to grant you excellent health and a long life, so that the nation continues to benefit from your strong leadership and we all continue to receive your guidance,” Adityanath added.
