Union Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan’s birthday on February 5 drew an outpouring of admiration from BJP heavyweights, spotlighting his pivotal role in India’s agricultural and rural transformation. Home Minister Amit Shah set the tone with effusive praise for Chouhan’s contributions.
Posting on X, Shah wrote, ‘Warmest birthday greetings to Shri Shivraj Singh Chouhan. In PM Modi’s leadership, you’re driving continuous momentum in farmers’ welfare and rural development. Invoking Lord Mahakal for your long life and well-being.’
Nitin Gadkari, overseeing road transport, chimed in: ‘Birthday wishes to cabinet colleague Shivraj Singh Chouhan ji. May God grant you supreme health, long life, and a blessed journey ahead.’
From Lucknow, UP CM Yogi Adityanath honored the veteran leader: ‘Heartfelt birthday felicitations to former MP CM and Union Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan ji. Prayers to Baba Mahakal for your health and a glorious, extended life.’
Assam’s Himanta Biswa Sarma focused on Chouhan’s agri-impact: ‘Congratulations on your birthday, Union Minister Shivraj Chouhan. Your hard work guarantees comprehensive growth for farmers and propels agriculture to unprecedented levels. Blessings from Maa Kamakhya and Shri Shankaradeva for health and devoted service to Bharat.’
Chouhan marked the occasion philosophically on X. Birthdays, he noted, remind us of fleeting time, urging a life of purpose. Drawing from ancient wisdom like ‘Atmanvat sarvabhuteshu,’ ‘Siya Ram may sab jag jani,’ and ‘Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam,’ he advocated universal love and service.
‘Love manifests best through service,’ he asserted. ‘Serve all with affection for true fulfillment. My commitment to service intensifies. Environmental protection is divine service. By planting trees daily, we honor our planet and posterity. I plant one every day – I urge you to do the same.’
This exchange not only celebrated Chouhan’s milestone but reinforced BJP’s unity and vision for a farmer-empowered, green India, with Chouhan at the forefront.
