PM Narendra Modi Turns 75: Birthday Wishes and Political Echoes
Prime Minister Narendra Modi turned 75 on 17 September 2025, a milestone marked by official events, tributes and messages from across India and the world. Domestic political rivals — including Congress leaders Rahul Gandhi and Mallikarjun Kharge — publicly extended birthday wishes, while world leaders and senior ministers offered congratulations and reflections on his leadership. On the day, Modi also had scheduled public events including inaugurations and launches tied to social and development themes.
Rahul Gandhi posted on X (Twitter), “Wishing Prime Minister Narendra Modi ji a happy birthday and good health,” a public gesture that cuts through partisan noise. Mallikarjun Kharge, the Congress president, also extended best wishes. These public niceties do a few things: they soothe tensions in the short term, project institutional maturity, and give both sides cover to focus on governance or campaigning in other arenas.
On the other end of the political spectrum, senior ministers and BJP leaders offered warm tributes — framing the day as an occasion to recommit to national service and praising the prime minister’s leadership lessons. Amit Shah, a close colleague, shared personal reflections celebrating Modi’s lessons on putting workers and the public first — a tribute that combines admiration with reiteration of governing philosophy.
