New Delhi, Sep 17 (IANS) God has sent Prime Minister Narendra Modi as an ‘avatar purush’ to lead India, said Mukesh Ambani, Chairman and Managing Director of Reliance Industries and Reliance Retail, while extending wishes on his 75th birthday on Wednesday.

Mukesh Ambani extended wishes for the “most respected and beloved Prime Minister Narendra Bhai Modi Ji” on behalf of the entire business community of India, the Reliance family, as well as from the Ambani family.

“Today is a festive day for 1.45 billion Indians. I convey my heartiest felicitations to Prime Minister Modi Ji,” Ambani said.

“It is not a coincidence that Modi Ji's Amrit Mahotsav is coming in Bharat's Amrit Kaal. It is my deepest wish that Modi Ji should continue to serve India when independent India turns 100.
