The Congress vice president is currently out of the country. He flew out of the country on Tuesday to spend time with his grandmother.
In Uttar Pradesh, the Congress is celebrating his birthday as “Sankalp Diwas”. The party leaders in the state capital will distribute fruits to patients in various hospitals and have lunch with children of an orphanage in Motinagar.
