PM Modi, national leaders extend birthday wishes to President Murmu

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday led the nation in extending birthday greetings to President Droupadi Murmu, lauding her life and leadership as a source of inspiration for millions across the country.

In a post on X, the Prime Minister said, “Warmest birthday wishes to Rashtrapati Ji. Her life and leadership continue to inspire crores of people across the country. Her unwavering commitment to public service, social justice and inclusive development are a beacon of hope and strength for everyone. She has always worked to empower the poor and downtrodden. May she be blessed with a long and healthy life in service of the people.”

President Murmu, who assumed office as the 15th President of India on July 25, 2022, is the country’s first tribal woman to occupy the highest constitutional post.

BJP National President and Union Minister J.P. Nadda, in his message, praised the President’s contribution to tribal welfare and her focus on education and healthcare. “Your dedication towards public welfare and building a ‘Viksit Bharat’ is inspiring,” he wrote.

Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari extended his wishes for her good health and long life, while Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, writing in Hindi, described her as a symbol of service and simplicity. “I pray to Lord Shri Jagannath for your long, healthy and glorious life,” he said.

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin also joined in wishing the President. “Birthday greetings to Hon’ble President Tmt. Droupadi Murmu. Wishing you good health, peace, and happiness in your service to the nation,” he posted on X.
