New Delhi, Mar 23 (IBNS): Prime Minister Narendra Modi wished Union Minister and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Smriti Irani who turned 43 on Saturday.

Wishing Irani, the Prime Minister tweeted, "Greetings to @smritiirani Ji on her birthday. She has made valuable contributions towards strengthening the BJP and in the working of key sectors of the Government. I pray for her long life and good health. I also convey my best wishes to her for the upcoming election in Amethi."

Irani, who runs the Textile Ministry, is a member of Rajya Sabha (upper house of the parliament) from Gujarat.

She will contest the upcoming Lok Sabha election from Uttar Pradesh's Amethi seat, which is a Congress bastion. The minister will face Congress chief Rahul Gandhi who is a sitting MP from Amethi.

In the last General Election, Irani was defeated by Gandhi.

The BJP leader also ran the ministries of Human Resource Development and Information and Broadcasting in the Modi government.
