Congress leader Rahul Gandhi turned 55 today, receiving a flood of birthday wishes from political leaders, supporters, and even Prime Minister Narendra Modi. While Congress party members hailed him as a "true crusader for justice," messages highlighted his steadfast commitment to constitutional values, social equity, and giving voice to the marginalized.

Senior Congress figures, including Mallikarjun Kharge and Priyanka Gandhi, praised his unwavering fight for democratic ideals and people’s rights. His Bharat Jodo Yatra was widely referenced as a symbol of his outreach to the masses and dedication to unity across communities.

PM Modi’s birthday message on social media struck a respectful tone, wishing Gandhi good health and long life - ignaling civility amid sharp political rivalry.

As Gandhi enters another year in politics, his image as a compassionate yet determined leader is being spotlighted by the party ahead of upcoming state elections. The birthday became more than a celebration - it was an opportunity to reinforce his political identity as a voice for justice and inclusion.
