New Delhi, September 17: Prime Minister Narendra Modi celebrated his 75th birthday on Wednesday amid a wave of nationwide and international celebrations. The day was marked by both political significance and public welfare initiatives, with greetings pouring in from across the world and a major welfare campaign — ‘Sewa Pakhwada’ — launched by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
The BJP kickstarted the fortnight-long ‘Sewa Pakhwada’ (Service Fortnight) across all states ruled by the party, including Delhi, Gujarat, Uttar Pradesh, and Madhya Pradesh. As part of the initiative, blood donation camps, health check-up drives, and cleanliness campaigns were held with the aim of reaching the grassroots and promoting service-oriented politics. Party leaders, local MLAs, MPs, and volunteers actively participated in these events.
This year’s celebration held additional significance as it marked a milestone for the Prime Minister, who has been a key figure in Indian politics for over two decades. The party used the occasion not only to celebrate the leader but also to reinforce its commitment to public welfare.
Global leaders extended their wishes, reflecting Prime Minister Modi’s prominent stature on the world stage. US President Joe Biden, Russian President Vladimir Putin, and several other international dignitaries sent congratulatory messages, highlighting Modi’s global influence and the strengthening of diplomatic ties under his leadership.
In Delhi, senior BJP leaders organized a grand celebration, which included the distribution of free ration kits, planting of saplings, and awareness drives on cleanliness and health. The party also highlighted key welfare schemes launched by the Modi government, such as Ayushman Bharat, PM Garib Kalyan Yojana, and Swachh Bharat Abhiyan, presenting them as examples of the government’s focus on inclusive development.
While BJP supporters and party workers observed the day with enthusiasm, several opposition leaders also extended greetings to the Prime Minister, underlining the democratic tradition of goodwill beyond party lines.
Social media was abuzz with birthday wishes and hashtags celebrating the Prime Minister’s leadership. Citizens, public figures, celebrities, and spiritual leaders took to platforms like X (formerly Twitter), Facebook, and Instagram to share their messages and prayers for his good health and continued leadership.
As ‘Sewa Pakhwada’ gains momentum over the next two weeks, the BJP aims to reach millions across the country with its outreach and welfare efforts. The party believes the campaign will reflect the spirit of “Seva, Samarpan, and Sankalp” — service, dedication, and commitment — which it associates with the Prime Minister’s vision.
The 75th birthday of Prime Minister Modi was more than just a celebration — it was a strategic and symbolic event that blended politics, public service, and national unity.
