PM Narendra Modi turned 75 on Wednesday, September 17, with celebrations across the country marked by service initiatives and welfare campaigns. The BJP launched a fortnight-long “Sewa Pakhwada,” featuring health camps, blood donation drives, cleanliness campaigns, and fairs to promote indigenous products. Modi also unveiled the Swasth Nari, Sashakt Parivar Abhiyaan, focusing on women’s health and family welfare, alongside events tied to Poshan Maah (Nutrition Month).
Born on September 17, 1950, in Vadnagar, Gujarat, Modi has served as Prime Minister since 2014 and is widely credited with major policy decisions, including the rollout of GST, the revocation of Article 370, and a nationwide digital infrastructure push. Supporters hailed his leadership and highlighted development achievements over the past decade as part of the celebrations.
The milestone birthday has also stirred political discussion about the BJP’s informal “75-year age rule” for senior leaders. While speculation about Modi’s future role has surfaced, party leaders insist he will continue to lead and steer the party’s agenda as it looks ahead to upcoming state elections and the next general election in 2029.
