"Happy birthday to Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi ji, the most popular leader of the country, who is devoted to the nation's service and welfare of the poor," Union Home Minister Amit Shah wrote on Twitter.
"In the form of Modi ji, the country has got a leadership that connected the deprived class with the mainstream of development and laid the foundation of a strong India," he said in another tweet.
Be it providing houses, electricity, bank accounts, toilets to the poor of the country who have been deprived of their rights for decades or giving a respectable life to the poor mothers by providing cooking gas to them through the Ujjwala scheme and , this has only been possible by the unwavering determination and strong will of Prime Minister Narendra Modi ji," another tweet from Shah read.
दशकों से अपने अधिकारों से वंचित देश के गरीबों को घर, बिजली, बैंक खाता और शौचालय देना हो या उज्ज्वला योजना से गरीब माताओं के घर गैस पहुँचाकर उन्हें सम्मानपूर्ण जीवन देना हो, यह सिर्फ और सिर्फ प्रधानमंत्री @narendramodi जी के अटूट संकल्प और मजबूत इच्छाशक्ति से ही सम्भव हो पाया है।
