The state unit of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) celebrated the 73rd birthday of Prime Minister and party leader Narendra Modi.
Present were state and district level office bearers, Mahila Morcha and Yuva Morcha members. BJP vice-president Chuba Ao and Union Minister Pralhad Joshi also attended the event.
The BJP has declared September 17 to October 2 as a fortnight to reach out in service to the poorest people, thereby unsubtly attempting to link the birthday of Modi to that of the revered Mahatma Gandhi, whose birthday falls on October 2.
Ao said that Modi has dedicated his life to the people of the country. The PM’s birthday was also celebrated in different districts, including the BJP regional office in Tura.
