Meanwhile, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has launched a fortnight-long “Sewa Pakhwada” to mark the milestone, rolling out social welfare initiatives, health camps, cleanliness drives, and development programmes across the country.
The celebration of Modi’s 75th birthday has thus become a blend of personal tributes from cricketing greats and large-scale national outreach efforts, reflecting both admiration and gratitude.
