Your continuous fight against injustice, inequality and abuse of power has inspired millions of people.
It was further written in the post, ‘You make people believe that politics is not just a ruthless race to get power, but it is a powerful means of bringing change; It can be based on principles and driven by compassion. For an entire generation looking for honesty, empathy and hope, you have become the voice of ‘Gen Z’: a leader who listens, understands, empowers and speaks to their aspirations. For a kinder, fairer India and a ‘shop of love’ in every heart. Wishing you strength and happiness always. Happy birthday, Rahul ji.
