I’ve had the good fortune of working together with Venkaiah Garu for many years. His commitment to public service and empowering the downtrodden is exemplary. Praying for his long and healthy life.”

In a message posted in Telugu and translated loosely, the CM posted, “Heartfelt birthday wishes to the former Vice President of India, the Honourable Shri Muppavarapu Venkaiah Naidu on the occasion of his 76th birthday. He is a rare individual who entered politics as a student leader and rose to occupy one of the highest constitutional positions in the country. Whether as a legislator, a Rajya Sabha member, or as the National President of the Bharatiya Janata Party, Shri Venkaiah Naidu always considered public service as his ultimate goal. That is his uniqueness. It is this exceptional character that earned him a distinct place in Indian politics. I sincerely wish that Shri Venkaiah Naidu celebrates many more birthdays and continues his dedicated service to the people.”
