I AM GLAD to learn that the 48th birthday of Shri Yeshwantrao Chavan, Chief Minister of Maharashtra is being celebrated next month.
Shri Chavan is one of the youngest Chief Ministers, but already he has acquired a reputation for balance and level-headedness which statesmen of an older age group may very well envy. The way he dealt with the Vidarbha Movement without leaving behind any scars speaks highly of his political acumen.
Shri Chavan is essentially a people’s man and has all the qualities required in a successful democratic leader. I am sure the future of the newborn State of Maharashtra is safe in his hands.
On this occasion, I would like to send my greetings and wish Shri Chavan a long life.
C. B. GUPTA,
Chief Minister,
Uttar Pradesh.

I AM GLAD to learn that a Committee has been formed to celebrate the 48th Birthday of Shri Y. B. Chavan in Nagpur on 12th March 1961. The services rendered by Shri Chavan as the Chief Minister of the Composite State of Bombay were really great. Under his able leadership the State of Maharashtra is on its way to progress and prosperity.
On the happy occasion of his 48th Birthday I offer him my sincere felicitations and wish him many more returns of the day.

माननीय यशवंतराव चव्हाण १२ मार्च १९६१ या दिवशी अठ्ठेचाळीसाव्या वर्षांत पदार्पण करीत आहेत. वाढदिवसाच्या या शुभ प्रसंगी हा सदिच्छा संदेश पाठविण्यांत मला अनंद होत आहे. महाराष्ट्र राज्य स्थापनेची महान् ऐतिहासिक कामगिरी यशस्वी रीतीनें पार पाडण्यांत त्यांचे केवढे मोठें श्रेय आहे, हे मी मुद्दाम सांगण्याची आवश्यकता नाही. लोकसंग्रह, परमतसहिष्णुता, सौजन्य आणि कर्तव्यदक्षता हे नेतृत्वाला आवश्यक असणारे गुण त्यांनी गेल्या चार वर्षात वारंवार प्रकट करून दाखविले आहेत. महाराष्ट्राच्या विपन्नकालीं असा सुयोग्य राजकीय नेता आपल्याला लाभला हे राज्याचे भाग्यच होय. त्यांचें नेतृत्व आपणाला अनेक वर्षें लाभो व त्याचे हातून आपल्या भारत देशाची महनीय सेवा घडो अशी इच्छा मी प्रदर्शित करतो.
