Prime Minister Narendra Modi greeted Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) president Sharad Pawar on his 80th birthday on Saturday.
"Best wishes to @PawarSpeaks Ji on his birthday. May Almighty bless with good health and a long life," PM Modi tweeted.
Pawar, a former Union minister and Maharashtra chief minister, is one of the foremost opposition leaders and is seen as a pivot to the anti-BJP front in the country.
He is known to share a good rapport with politicians, including the prime minister, across political parties.
