Surrounded by his family members and supporters, the politician appeared healthy and smiling as he cut the cake.

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi said, “Our relationship has not been limited to politics – it is based on common values and struggle for social justice. Your life has been full of struggles, but you have always raised your voice for those who are often unheard. I wish you good health and long life.”

Union MSME Minister Jitan Ram Manjhi said: “Today, when he is not in power, ‘Sahab’ is cutting cake with a sword. If by mistake the son gets power, the cake will be cut with an AK-47. Isn’t it, Lalu Prasad Yadav? Anyway, happy birthday.”
