Thiruvananthapuram: Kerala chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan on Wednesday turned 73. Opposition leader Ramesh Chennithala brought the notice of the assembly that it was Pinarayi's birthday.
"Today is CM's birthday. I extend my wishes," Chennithala said.
Speaker P Sreeramakrishnan then greeted Pinarayi on behalf of all the members. Pinarayi had celebrated his birthday with the media last year by distributing sweets. After distributing 'ladoos', Vijayan had asked the media if they knew why he had distributed the sweets.
"I have kept it as a secret. Today is my birthday," he had said, taking everyone by surprise.
