Indian Vendors Mark PM Modi's 76th Birthday with Free and Larger Food Portions
On Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 76th birthday, two vendors in India marked the occasion by offering free or larger portions of their products. In Bihar's Katihar, tea seller Jawahar Bhagat served 76 free cups of tea, inspired by Modi's journey from tea seller to Prime Minister. In West Bengal's Jhargram, jhalmuri seller Vikram Kumar Sahu celebrated by serving larger portions and displaying photos from Modi's visit during his election campaign. Both expressed wishes for Modi's health and longevity, reflecting local admiration.
