As Prime Minister Narendra Modi turns 69 on Tuesday, his admirers across India are celebrating the birthday with colourful and unique ideas. In Varanasi, which is PM Modi’s parliamentary constituency, his fans lit up beautiful earthen lamps to celebrate the birthday in traditional way. Another Modi fan offered a gold crown of 1.25 kg to Lord Hanuman at famous Sankat Mochan temple to pray for the Prime Minister’s good health. Talking about this special gesture, Arvind Singh, a fan of PM Modi, said that, "Ahead of Lok Sabha polls, I took a vow to offer gold crown weighing 1.25 kg to Lord Hanuman if Modi ji formed govt for the second time."
In Delhi, state BJP chief Manoj Tiwari and other party leaders celebrated PM Modi’s birthday with special ‘Article 370’ giant laddoo. In Bhopal, BJP workers cut a 70-feet long cake in honour of their beloved leader. On his birthday, PM Modi is visiting his home state Gujarat.
