Honestly, the focus should be on what he's achieved for the common people rather than just birthday wishes. The article is too much about who wished him and not about his work.

It's interesting how even political rivals are civil in India during such occasions. Back in the US, the polarization is much worse. Maybe we can learn something from this.

Good to see bipartisan wishes. But let's not forget his speeches in Parliament and his role as LoP. He has brought up some important issues on farmer rights and unemployment. Birthday karlo, but woh kaam bhi dekhte rahenge. 💯

It's sweet that PM Modi and Sanjay Raut put aside differences to wish him. Shows the human side of politics. Wishing Rahul Gandhi a great year ahead! 🇮🇳

56 saal ka ho gaya. But has he really grown as a leader? The criticism is that he still seems like a puppet. The article says he is serving the nation—but serving how exactly? Elections toh jeetne hain pehle.
