Congress MP and Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi on Thursday thanked Prime Minister Narendra Modi for extending greetings on his 55th birthday.

Taking to X, the Congress leader wrote: "Thank you for your wishes, Prime Minister @narendramodi ji."

Earlier on Thursday, PM Modi extended warm birthday wishes to Rahul Gandhi, as the former Congress president turned 55.

Rahul Gandhi was born on June 19, 1970, at Delhi's Holy Family Hospital. He is the eldest child of late former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi and Congress Rajya Sabha MP Sonia Gandhi.

Taking to X, the Prime Minister wrote: "Birthday greetings to the Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Shri Rahul Gandhi. May he be blessed with a long and healthy life."

Several Union Ministers, including Defence Minister Rajnath Singh and Road Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari, also conveyed their greetings on social media.

Rajnath Singh posted: "Greetings to the Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Shri Rahul Gandhi on his birthday. May he be blessed with good health and a long life."

Taking to X, Nitin Gadkari wrote: "Extending my heartfelt birthday wishes to the Leader of the Opposition in Lok Sabha and Lok Sabha MP from Rae Bareli, Uttar Pradesh Shri Rahul Gandhi ji. May this occasion bring joy, and the year ahead be filled with health and prosperity."

Rahul Gandhi's political lineage traces back to India's first Prime Minister, Jawaharlal Nehru. He is the grandson of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi and the son of Rajiv Gandhi, India's sixth Prime Minister. His paternal grandfather, Feroze Gandhi, hailed from Gujarat and belonged to the Parsi community.

Marking the occasion, the Indian Youth Congress (IYC) has organised a large-scale job fair here at the Talkatora Stadium.

The IYC stated the initiative aims to help young job seekers connect directly with employers and secure employment.

It's good to see political rivals showing basic courtesy to each other. This is how democracy should function - with mutual respect despite differences. Hope this spirit continues beyond birthdays too! 🙏

While birthday wishes are nice, I wish our leaders would show this same warmth when discussing important national issues. The job fair initiative by IYC is praiseworthy though - more such practical steps needed!

Happy birthday to Rahul Gandhi ji! Whether you support him or not, one must acknowledge his commitment to walking across India to understand ground realities. The Bharat Jodo Yatra was truly inspiring.

Nice gesture by PM Modi, but I hope both leaders can now work together on pressing issues like unemployment and inflation. The youth need jobs, not just birthday wishes! The job fair is a step in right direction.

The Gandhi family has given so much to this nation. Whatever one's political views, we must respect their contributions to India's freedom struggle and early development. Happy birthday to Rahul ji!

Birthday wishes are fine, but I'm more interested in seeing constructive opposition in Parliament. Hope Rahul Gandhi uses his experience to hold government accountable while suggesting better alternatives.
