PM Modi was greeted by several leaders, including Vice President M Venkaiah Naidu, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh and BJP president and Home Minister Amit Shah. Kejriwal also joined in extending his greetings on Twitter:
Union Home Minister Amit Shah said Modi’s hard work to make the lives of the countrymen easier was an inspiration. “Your efforts and determination to make life easier for every India is an inspiration for us. It is a privilege as a people’s representative, fellow countryman and as a party worker to be your partner in nation rebuilding. I wish God your healthy life and longevity,” Shah tweeted.

Meanwhile, the BJP is celebrating the entire week as ‘Sewa Saptah’ where every BJP member right from Amit Shah down to the cadres observing it by either taking part in cleaning or donating blood or simply helping the needy. It is also a ground connect event for the ruling party.
