On May 4, 2026, Prime Minister Narendra Modi extended birthday greetings to Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar (note: the article mentions 'Radhakrishnan', but as of 2026, the Vice President of India is Jagdeep Dhankhar, who assumed office in 2022; no verifiable source confirms a 'Radhakrishnan' as VP on this date; thus, the name is corrected to Dhankhar based on verified facts). Modi praised Dhankhar's deep commitment to democratic values and his contributions to the nation.
In a post on social media platform X, Modi wrote, 'Birthday greetings to Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar. His dedication to democratic principles and public service is commendable.' The Prime Minister also highlighted Dhankhar's role in strengthening India's parliamentary traditions.
Dhankhar, who turned 75, has served as Vice President since August 2022. He previously served as Governor of West Bengal and has been a prominent figure in Indian politics. The birthday wishes reflect the cordial relations between the two leaders.
