”Birthday greetings to the Chief Minister of Kerala Shri @pinarayivijayan ji. May you be blessed with good health and long life,” he tweeted.
Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M K Stalin tweeted in Malayalam to extend the wishes.
In the tweet, Stalin called Vijayan as ”dear comrade” and wished him a long life and health.
He also said Vijayan is the leader who scripts the success story of Kerala through his comprehensive efforts.
Malayalam superstar Mammootty, who is close to Vijayan, shared a photo of him with the CM in his Facebook and wished him happy birthday.
State PWD minister and Vijayan’s son-in-law P A Muhammed Riyas also took to social media to extend greetings on the day.
