Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik turned 73 on Tuesday and good wishes for him poured in from all quarters. A host of leaders across the political spectrum wished him a healthy and long life. Prime Minister Narendra Modi prayed for Patnaik’s good health.
Sand artist Sudarsan Pattnaik wished the Chief Minister with a sculpture at the Puri sea beach. However, the CM decided not to celebrate his birthday this year as a mark of solidarity with the people affected by Cyclone Titli and subsequent floods in some parts of the State. He also requested his well-wishers and BJD workers and leaders not to organise any function at his residence Naveen Nivas.
