Prime Minister Narendra Modi extended birthday greetings to West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Monday. He shared the message through a post on social media platform X. The Prime Minister wished her good health and a long life.
In his message, Modi addressed Banerjee as “Mamata Didi.” He expressed warm regards on her birthday. The post drew attention across political circles. Leaders and supporters from different parties also shared greetings.
Official records state that Mamata Banerjee was born on January 5, 1955. She turned 71 on Monday. Banerjee continues to remain an influential figure in Indian politics. She leads the Trinamool Congress as its national chairperson.
Banerjee created history in 2011 when she became West Bengal’s first woman Chief Minister. Her victory ended the Left Front’s 34-year rule in the state. The political shift marked a major change in Bengal’s governance.
Since then, Banerjee has won multiple assembly elections. She has focused on welfare schemes, infrastructure, and state-centric policies. Her leadership style often places her at the centre of national political discussions.
The birthday greeting from the Prime Minister highlighted a moment of political courtesy. It came despite ongoing political rivalry between the BJP and the Trinamool Congress. The message received wide circulation on social media platforms.
