Setting aside their political differences, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday wished Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on his birthday.
Kejriwal turned 48 on Tuesday. He has received greetings not only from the Prime Minister but also several other leaders and Bollywood and sports personalities. "Birthday greetings to Delhi CM @ArvindKejriwal. I pray for his long life and good health," Modi tweeted."Thank u so much sir," responded Kejriwal.
Twitterati in turn had their share of fun at this friendly exchange, especially since it came just two weeks after Kejriwal famously said in a video message that Modi was so "frustrated" with him he would get him "killed".
West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and Congress veteran Sheila Dikshit also took to Twitter to wish the Aam Aadmi Party chief.
leader of Opposition in the Delhi Assembly Vijender Gupta also greeted Kejriwal. Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav wished Kejriwal good health and success.
Wishing Kejriwal, former cricketer Virender Sehwag wrote, "May you be blessed with good health, no cold & good work". Boxing star Vijender Singh also extended his wishes.
Bollywood actors and singers — including Riteish Deshmukh, Aftab Shivdasani and Vishal Dadlani — also tweeted their birthday greetings to Kejriwal.
Apart from his individual responses, the Chief Minister also tweeted, "Received birthday greetings from many friends, relatives, supporters. I sincerely thank everyone for their warm wishes."
