It is our Railway Minister Suresh Prabhu’s birthday today!

Since 1996, Prabhu has been a repeatedly elected Member of Parliament from Rajapur Lok Sabha constituency in Maharashtra as a member of the Shiv Sena. He quit Shiv Sena and joined BJP on November 9, 2014 and presently represents Haryana in Rajya Sabha.

The qualified Chartered Accountant from Maharashtra juggled multiple portfolios during the first NDA regime’s stint at the centre from 1998 to 2004. During that period, Suresh Prabhu was entrusted with the departments of Power, Industry, Fertilizers & Chemicals, Heavy Industry and Public Enterprises, and Environment and Forests. He got accolades from all quarters especially for managing (streamlining the process) the power department with efficiency.

He was wished not only by PM Narendra Modi but also by Arun Jaitley, Amit Shah, Piyush Goyal, Jayant Sinha and many others. We take a look at who all wished him and wish him a very happy birthday too.
