Prime Minister Narendra Modi is celebrating his 70th birthday today and leaders from across all political parties have poured in wishes. From Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, Home Minister Amit Shah and Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, several bigwigs have posted birthday greetings for Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Apart from the wishes, 70,000 samplings, 70 kg laddoo have been offered in a Coimbatore temple and BJP is targetting to create a million selfie videos, all to wish the Prime Minister Narendra Modi a happy 70th birthday.
Narendra Modi, born on September 17, 1950, marks a personal milestone during his tenure as the Prime Minister.
Here are some of his loyalists who wished the PM well on achieving the septuagenarian title:
Union Home Minister Amit Shah tweeted that the "most popular leader is devoted to the nation's service" and welfare of the poor, adding that the country has received "a leadership that connected the deprived class".

मोदी जी के रूप में देश को एक ऐसा नेतृत्व मिला है जिसने लोक-कल्याणकारी नीतियों से वंचित वर्ग को विकास की मुख्यधारा से जोड़ा और एक मजबूत भारत की नींव रखी।
