On the occasion of Rahul Gandhi’s 55th birthday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi took to social media platform X (formerly Twitter) to convey his greetings to the Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha. Modi’s message read, “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.”

This marks the first time in five years that the Prime Minister has publicly extended birthday wishes to the senior Congress leader.

Rahul Gandhi, a five-term Member of Parliament and former Congress President, is regarded as the de facto face of the Indian National Congress and a central figure in the INDIA opposition alliance. He is also the latest generation of the Nehru-Gandhi political dynasty, three of whose members have served as Prime Minister of India.

INDIA Bloc Hails Gandhi's Ideals

Political allies across the INDIA bloc used the occasion to praise Gandhi for his commitment to progressive ideals and constitutional values.

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin, head of the DMK, described Gandhi as his "brother-in-ideals" and posted on X:
“Warm birthday wishes to my brother-in-ideals, @RahulGandhi — bound not by blood, but by thought, vision, and purpose. May you continue to stand firm and lead with courage. In our march towards a brighter India, victory shall be ours.”

Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge also showered praise on Gandhi’s ideological clarity and compassion:
“What sets you apart is your unequivocal dedication to the Constitution's values and your deep compassion for social, political and economic justice for the millions whose voices often go unheard.”

Kharge further added that Gandhi’s actions consistently reflect the Congress Party’s ideology of unity in diversity, harmony, and justice, stating:
“As you continue your mission to bring truth to power and support the last person standing, I wish you a long, healthy, and happy life ahead.”

Congress Organises Job Fair to Mark the Day

In a unique move to mark the birthday of their leader, the Indian Youth Congress (IYC) organised a job fair in Delhi. The event, which ran from 10 am to 4 pm, brought together over 100 companies and MNCs with more than 5,000 job openings.

Delhi Congress President Devender Yadav said the initiative aligns with Gandhi’s vision of empowering youth, Dalits, and marginalised communities:
“This initiative is a step towards fulfilling Rahul Gandhi’s dream of empowering the youth, Dalits, and marginalised communities.”

Due to space constraints, several companies had to be turned away, but many expressed interest in joining future editions of the job fair.

A Day of Symbolism and Politics

Rahul Gandhi’s birthday this year has turned into an occasion of symbolic significance for both supporters and critics. While the Prime Minister’s brief but notable greeting has sparked speculation about political decorum and messaging, the warm tributes from INDIA bloc leaders showcased Gandhi’s growing stature as a unifying figure for the opposition.

The Indian political landscape remains deeply polarised, but the gesture from PM Modi has been welcomed as a sign of democratic courtesy, even as Gandhi continues his role as the principal challenger to the NDA government in the Parliamen
