Prime Minister Narendra Modi has brought prosperity and confidence in the lives of crores of Indians through his foresight, hard work and selfless service, Union Home Minister Amit Shah said on Sunday.
Extending his birthday greetings to Modi, Shah said that the PM personifies a rare combination of leadership, sensitivity and hard work.
"I wish a very happy birthday to the popular Prime Minister of the country, Shri @narendramodi ji, who has brought prosperity and confidence in the lives of crores of people through his foresight, tireless hard work and selfless service. I also pray to God for your long life and good health," he wrote on X.
The home minister said Modi has changed the scale and size of the country's thinking, due to which whether it is the making of COVID-19 vaccine or the success of Chandrayaan-3, today India's tricolour is flying proudly all over the world.
"For the first time in history, Prime Minister Modi has done the amazing work of connecting the heart of every Indian with the development of the country," he said.

Modi, the architect of the new India, has worked to lay a strong foundation of a grand and self-reliant India on the basis of the ancient heritage of our country, he said.
"Be it in the organisation or in the government, we all get inspired by his 'national interest comes first' thinking," he said.

"A wonderful leader who lives in the heart of every Indian… Shri Narendra Modi," he said.
