Today, the 19th of June 2018, Congress President Rahul Gandhi celebrates his birthday in the capital.
Today the Congress President turns 48 and the wishes have started pouring in from Monday. Gandhi has generally been reticent about celebrating his birthdays with any fanfare and is known to leave Delhi to celebrate it with his close friends.
But this will be his first birthday as the Congress president and he plans to spend the day with Congress workers at the party headquarters in New Delhi. Party units, including the Youth Congress and Congress women’s wing, have also planned events.

Yesterday, the Karnataka Chief Minister HD Kumaraswamy had visited Rahul Gandhi at his residence and gave him his best wishes ahead of his birthday.
Kumaraswamy was accompanied by JD-S secretary general Danish Ali, while AICC general secretary in-charge of Karnataka Congress K C Venugopal too was present during the meeting.
JD-S sources termed it as a ‘courtesy visit’ during which the Congress chief assured the new Congress-JDS government in the state of his full support.
The Congress and the JD-S have formed the new Karnataka government in a post-poll tie-up after the BJP failed to get a majority of its own. The BJP’s BS Yeddyurappa was briefly sworn in as chief minister but had to tender his resignation after he failed to prove his majority.
