Modi turns 76: How BJP marks PM’s birthday with nationwide ‘Seva Diwas’, bike rallies, blood donation camps
Narendra Damodardas Modi was born in Gujarat's Vadnagar city into a middle-class Hindu family with no political background on 17 September, 1950.
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is organizing nationwide programs to celebrate Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 76th birthday. Modi, who has been leading the BJP since 2014, was born on September 17, 1950, in Vadnagar, Gujarat. On June 9, 2024, he was sworn in as Prime Minister for the third consecutive term, a record achieved only by Jawaharlal Nehru before him. Modi, a former member of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), has been the face of BJP's success in three previous general elections.
Union Home Minister Amit Shah will commence a bike rally from Vadnagar in Gujarat to Varanasi in Uttar Pradesh, while Defence Minister Rajnath Singh will inaugurate a similar rally from Varanasi to Vadnagar. In Delhi, BJP President Nitin Nabin will inaugurate a blood donation camp at the party's headquarters, marking Modi's birthday as 'Seva Diwas'.
The party will also conduct a nationwide cleanliness campaign and organize programs at over 700 locations across the nation, where leaders, workers, and locals will light the 'ashirvaad ka diya' for Modi's health and long life.
