PM Modi Wishes Rahul Gandhi On 56th Birthday, Congress Leaders Extend Greetings

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday extended birthday wishes to Congress MP and Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi, who turned 56 on June 19, 2026.

In a message shared on social media, PM Modi wished Rahul Gandhi good health and a long life. The greeting came as several Congress leaders and party workers across the country also marked the occasion with birthday messages and public events.

Congress Leaders Praise Rahul Gandhi’s Public Role

Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge greeted Rahul Gandhi and praised his commitment to constitutional values, social justice, and the voices of ordinary people.

Several Congress leaders described Gandhi’s political journey as one shaped by resilience, public outreach, and his focus on issues such as democracy, youth concerns, social equality, and institutional accountability.

Birthday Wishes Pour In From Party Workers

Congress workers and supporters also extended birthday greetings to Rahul Gandhi through social media posts, banners, and local programmes. Party leaders highlighted his Bharat Jodo Yatra and his continued focus on connecting directly with citizens across India.

In Kerala, Congress leaders also praised Gandhi’s political outreach and his role in raising issues concerning students, youth, and democratic institutions.

A Moment Of Political Courtesy

Although PM Modi and Rahul Gandhi remain key figures on opposite sides of national politics, the birthday greeting was seen as a moment of political courtesy.

Rahul Gandhi, born on June 19, 1970, continues to hold a central role in the Congress party and currently serves as the Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha.

The birthday messages from both ruling and opposition leaders added a softer note to India’s otherwise sharp political atmosphere.
