A birthday wish from Prime Minister Narendra Modi to West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Monday set off a burst of humour on social media. “Birthday wishes to West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Didi. I pray for her good health and long life,” Modi posted on X at 8.45 am. Mamata Banerjee has not responded to the birthday wish from Modi, yet. Both Modi and Mamata have a long and confrontational political history.
