Patna, July 5 (UNI) Close on the heels of the hugely publicised birthday bash of Railway minister Lalu Prasad in New Delhi last month, Union Chemicals and Fartiliser Minister Ram Vilas Paswan here tonight celebrated his 60th birthday in almost similar style with more than 15,000 invitees attending the party.

Billed as one of the most popular birthday celebrations of any living individual in Patna in recent years, people from all walks of life besides the supporters and political parties' leaders attended the extravaganza this evening.

Though a sharp shower had dampened the spirit of the mega event to some extent for a few moments, an unperturbed smiling Paswan was seen accepting flower bouquets from a stream of invitees amid slogans hailing the Dalit leader.

While Bihar Chief minister Nitish Kumar and Former Haryana Chief minister Om Prakash Chowthala were among many others who rang up in the morning to wish him long life, leaders of all political parties in Bihar including those from the ruling JD(U), BJP and the opposition RJD made a bee line since the evening at the local Lok Janshakti headqaurters to extend birthday wishes to Mr Paswan in the midst of thousands of others making frantic efforts to reach near him for the same purpose.

Amid chanting of slogans of long live Ram Vilas Paswan by his followers the union minister also cut a huge birthday cake, which was distributed to all visitors present in the well decorated lawn.
