Keeping away from any special birthday functions, Chandy, fondly called 'OC' by his followers, attended various civic poll campaign meetings at his hometown Kottayam today, Chief Minister's office sources said.
Before leaving for Kottayam, he offered prayers at a church in Thiruvananthapuram. This is Chandy's second stint as Chief Minister.
He had assumed charge for the first time after senior leader A K Antony resigned from the post in 2004, following Congress' defeat in the Lok Sabha polls that year.
He later became Opposition leader in the Assembly in 2006 when the LDF was in power. Chandy again assumed charge as Chief Minister in May 2011.
