Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi turned 56 on Friday. Birthday wishes for the Congress leader poured in from all quarters, including from Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who wished him "good health" in a post on X.
While Congress leaders and workers celebrated Rahul Gandhi's birthday across the country, a controversy broke out over the celebrations by the Varanasi unit of the Youth Congress.
Youth Congress workers performed a puja on the banks of the Ganga, carrying a poster of Rahul Gandhi depicting him as Lord Parshuram. The poster showed the leader holding an axe in one hand and a copy of the Constitution of India in the other.
