The greetings from PM Modi come at a crucial time for the Congress party, which recently faced setbacks in the Assembly polls, losing three Hindi heartland states. With Lok Sabha elections looming just six months away, the political landscape is undergoing significant changes.
Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge also joined in wishing Sonia Gandhi a happy birthday. Describing her as a “relentless advocate of the rights of the marginalized,” Kharge praised her resilience in facing adversity with courage, grit, and selfless sacrifice.
Congress General Secretary KC Venugopal lauded Sonia Gandhi’s commitment to public service and her efforts to uplift the poor and marginalized sections of society. He recognized her inspirational journey, steering the Congress through challenging times and playing a key role in the UPA government’s achievements.
Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin also extended his wishes, acknowledging Sonia Gandhi’s devoted public life and expressing hope that her vision and experience would continue to guide the united endeavour to safeguard India from autocratic forces.
