Prime Minister Narendra Modi today wished Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray on his 58th birthday.
"Birthday wishes to Shri Uddhav Thackeray. May Almighty bless him with a long and healthy life in service of society," Modi, who is in South Africa for the BRICS Summit, tweeted.
Sena, an NDA ally, has been opposing the BJP and its policies.
Its MPs in the Lok Sabha stayed away from voting in the no-confidence vote brought against the government by the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) and supported by various opposition parties.
