Home Minister Amit Shah praised Prime Minister Modi as the architect of a new India and commended his vision and leadership, which has laid a strong foundation for a grand and self-reliant India, rooted in the country’s ancient heritage. Shah emphasized the inspiration drawn from Prime Minister Modi’s commitment to national interest and considered it a privilege to serve under his leadership.
To mark the Prime Minister’s birthday, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) initiated “Sewa Pakhwara,” a fortnight of service, which will continue until October 2, Mahatma Gandhi’s birth anniversary. This campaign encompasses various welfare initiatives and activities to reach out to different sections of society in honor of Prime Minister Modi’s 73rd birthday.
The ‘Seva Pakhwada’ campaign includes six engagements or activities in which citizens can participate to extend their greetings to Prime Minister Modi on his special day. Participation can be done through the ‘NaMo’ app by logging in with one’s mobile number or email ID registered with the Mera Saansad Portal.
The exchange of birthday wishes and the launch of the ‘Seva Pakhwada’ campaign underline the significance of such occasions as moments of unity and celebration, transcending political differences to come together in recognition of a leader’s special day.
