SRINAGAR, Sept 17: Jammu and Kashmir Lt Governor Manoj Sinha on Wednesday greeted Prime Minister Narendra Modi on his 75th birthday and said that his dedication to the country has resulted in a huge transformation in the last 10-11 years.
“Today is Modi ji’s birthday. It has been decided that the whole country will celebrate sewa parv from September 17 to October 2 — from Modi’s birthday to Gandhi ji’s birthday. The Jammu and Kashmir administration is also celebrating this sewa parv with dedication,” Sinha told reporters here.
He said the dedication with which PM Modi has worked for the nation has resulted in a huge transformation in the country in the last 10-11 years.
“This country needed fast economic development the most and it was very important for the benefit of that economic development to reach the poor and people in rural areas. By treading that path, India has become the world’s fourth-largest economy today and over 25 crore people have come out of poverty,” the LG said.
Sinha said India’s prestige across the world has increased because of Modi.
“We pray to God that he lives for a century and continues to work for the country’s development and serve the citizens of the country with devotion,” he added.
To celebrate the occasion, LG Sinha distributed fruits among patients at Jawahar Lal Nehru Memorial Hospital here.
