Highlights! Happy Birthday Narendra Modi: Leaders, ministers among others extend wishes, PM releases 8 cheetahs in Kuno National Park
Prime Minister Narendra Modi turned 72 on Saturday, September 17, 2022. His birthday is often marked with development initiatives while the BJP launches 'seva' (service) activities.
Modi will be speaking at four programmes linked to diverse fields, including the release of cheetahs brought from Namibia in a Madhya Pradesh national park.
An RSS pracharak from a young age, Modi was drafted into the BJP's organisation and later became Gujarat chief minister in 2001. Since then, he has achieved the unique feat of never losing the state and now national election when he has been the face of the party.
