Prime Minister Narendra Modi celebrated his 76th birthday, with Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma crediting him for the state’s development trajectory.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi marked his 76th birthday on Tuesday, a milestone that has drawn remarks from political leaders across the country. The occasion was observed with a modest ceremony in New Delhi, where the Prime Minister received greetings from senior officials and party members.
Assam’s Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma used the birthday platform to highlight the central government’s policies that, in his view, have spurred economic and infrastructural growth in the northeastern state. He cited increased investment, improved connectivity projects and welfare schemes as evidence of the partnership between Delhi and Guwahati.
Analysts noted that while the birthday is largely symbolic, the CM’s comments underscore the political importance of Assam in the ruling party’s broader strategy ahead of upcoming state elections. The Prime Minister’s team did not issue a detailed statement beyond standard birthday wishes.
