Prime Minister Narendra Modi turned 76 on 17 September 2026, drawing a wave of birthday wishes from Telangana leaders across party lines, including Governor Shiv Pratap Shukla, Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy, and several Union ministers from the state.
Governor and Chief Minister Extend Wishes
Governor Shiv Pratap Shukla conveyed warm birthday greetings to PM Modi, wishing him good health, strength, and long life. The Governor also acknowledged Modi's 25 years of dedicated public service, expressing hope for his continued strength and success in serving the nation.
Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy extended heartfelt greetings, wishing the Prime Minister excellent health, happiness, prosperity, and a long life. Reddy expressed hope that PM Modi's life would always be filled with joy and peace, and that he would remain healthy and energetic in his service to the country.
Union Ministers Join the Chorus
Union Minister for Coal and Mines G. Kishan Reddy posted his birthday message on X, lauding Modi's commitment to public service. With an unwavering spirit of seva and devotion to Maa Bharati, your tireless service and vision for a Viksit Bharat by 2047 continue to inspire the nation towards a stronger, prosperous, and self-reliant India. May you be blessed with good health, happiness, and a long life to continue serving Maa Bharati and lead Bharat towards greater heights,
Kishan Reddy wrote.
Union Minister of State for Home Affairs Bandi Sanjay Kumar also extended his greetings and best wishes to the Prime Minister.
BJP Leaders Highlight Modi's Governance Record
Telangana Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) president N. Ramchander Rao called PM Modi the architect of New India. In a post on X, he cited flagship schemes including Jan Dhan, Swachh Bharat, Ujjwala, Ayushman Bharat, Digital India, and GST, crediting Modi's leadership with bringing 25 crore people out of poverty and delivering a major infrastructure and defence push.
On your 76th birthday, I join crores of our countrymen in extending my heartfelt wishes to you. Modi Ji, it is a great blessing and privilege to serve our motherland under your leadership. I pray, pray and pray for your long and healthy life, so that the goal of a Viksit Bharat by 2047 is achieved under your leadership,
Ramchander Rao added.
Cross-Party Gesture Reflects Modi's National Stature
Notably, the birthday wishes from Chief Minister Revanth Reddy — who leads the Indian National Congress (Congress)-governed state — alongside those from BJP leaders underscores the cross-partisan nature of the occasion. This comes amid continued political competition between the Congress-led state government and the BJP-led Centre on several Telangana policy matters. As PM Modi enters his 76th year, attention will turn to key milestones on his Viksit Bharat 2047 agenda in the months ahead.
Point of View
But the optics here carry a small political footnote: a Congress chief minister publicly wishing a BJP Prime Minister in warm terms, even as the two parties spar over Telangana's special status demands and funds allocation. Ramchander Rao's X post, citing 25 crore people lifted from poverty and flagship schemes, reads more as a campaign brief than a birthday note — a reminder that even ritual occasions are seldom purely apolitical. The real marker of Modi's 76th year will be concrete progress on the Viksit Bharat 2047 benchmarks his own party has set, not the chorus of well-wishes that accompany every September 17.
