Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Virbhadra Singh today celebrated his 82nd birthday and hoped he would be able to fight more elections.

"I am fully satisfied with my life and have worked for the people of Himachal for more than five decades and am still in fine fettle, both mentally and physically.

"I have received love and support of people in abundance and it is my real strength and if God willing, I may contest next elections also," Singh, a six-time Chief Minister, five-time MP and eight-time MLA, said.

"I had never been inimical towards my opponents and had good personal relations with them but some opposition leaders consider me their enemy," he said.
 

Among those who greeted Singh on his birthday included Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Governor Kalyan Singh and hundreds of admirers who greeted him in his office.

Singh had a busy day as he laid the foundation of Tutikandi-Rani Jhansi Park Ropeway, Sugam Kendra and a blood donation camp at HPCC office and enjoyed the musical night 'Ek Shaam, Virbhadra Singh ke Saath' organised by his supporters.
