On this occasion, the BJP will also distribute 140 million ration bags with the Prime Minister’s image to needy people. 50 million booth workers of the party will send postcards with the PM’s image highlighting his commitment to public service. During the course of this campaign, the party will organise programmes at every booth on September 25 on the occasion of Deendayal Upadhyay’s birthday.  BJP workers will also organise a sanitation drive wherein rivers will be cleaned and trees will be planted on October 2. Programmes to promote ‘plastic-free India’ will also be organised.
 
Union Health Minister Mansukh Mandaviya urged citizens to do ‘Vaccine seva’ by helping those unvaccinated as a birthday gift for the Prime Minister. “‘Vaccine for all, free vaccine’ is a gift of Prime Minister Narendra Modi to the entire country.  Tomorrow is the birthday of our dear Prime Minister. Let’s do Vaccine Seva for those unvaccinated and give him a birthday loved ones, family members and all sections of the society by getting them vaccinated,” Mandaviya tweeted.

Prime Minister Modi was born in a humble family of tea sellers in Gujarat on September 17 1950. He is the only Prime Minister to be born in an independent India. He left his home to travel across India at the age of 17.  He travelled across various landscapes of India and explored several cultures during his two-year long journey.

Narendra Modi received a life-changing phone call from the former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee in 2001 after which he became the Chief Minister of Gujarat. Currently, Modi is in the midst of his second tenure as the Prime Minister.
