Mrs Fadnavis also shared a video of her singing at an NGO event.
However, many Twitter users came forward to point out that Mahatma Gandhi is the Father of the Nation, and not Prime Minister Modi.
“When did PM Modi become father of country and how? What betterment of society really happened now with unemployment rising like never before and with economy facing slowdown,” a Twitter user wrote.
On his birthday, PM Modi took part in various activities including a visit to the Statue of Unity and the Sardar Sarovar Dam on the Narmada river.
