Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has extended his greetings to former Congress President and UPA Chairperson Sonia Gandhi.
"Best wishes to Smt. Sonia Gandhiji on her birthday. I pray for her long and healthy life," he tweeted on Sunday.
Gandhi was born on December 9, 1946 in Lusiana town of Italy and has been the longest serving president of her party for a record 19 years from 1998 until her son Rahul Gandhi took over in 2017, reports The Economic Times.
While studying in England, Sonia met former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi. They married in 1968. She took over as the party chief seven years after her husband's assassination.
