Micro blogging site Twitter on Thursday greeted Prime Minister Narendra Modi on his 65th birthday. Modi's official Twitter account shows colourful balloons rising through the page to mark his birthday. The prime minister also received greetings from people on the social networking site. People tweeted with the hashtag #HappyBdayPM, which was trending at the top in India.
Apart from many the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders who took to Twitter to wish Modi, Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal also wished Modi on his birthday. "Greetings to Prime Minister Sh Narendra Modi ji on his birthday. My prayers for his health and long life," Kejriwal tweeted.
Here's some fun on the side:
How Twitter wished PM Modi on his 65th birthday:
Happy Ganesh Chaturthi. The God who won the race around the world. Happy B'day Narendra Modi. The man who seems to be trying the same thing.

Happy birthday to Modi ji. Please dont cut your cake with a knife or the liberals will start crying about an impending genocide.

Happy birthday to Ganesh, Modi, M F Husain and Periyar. Everybody keep calm and remain busy with own worship.

I'm surprised that Modi fans haven't attacked Google yet for showing an MF Hussain doodle and not Modi's on their common birthday

Today is Ganesh Chathurti. *And* PM Narendra Modi's birthday. Yet, Google chose MF Husain for doodle? Very brave :) pic.twitter.com/neaVSqJGGe

My wife is expected to deliver today, but I've asked doctors to delay it by 24 hours. I don't want my kid to share birthday with Modi.
