Mamata, PM exchange New Year greetings
While Banerjee wished Modi in Gujarati, the Prime Minister used Bengali to greet the West Bengal CM.
"Received very touching New Year greetings from @MamataOfficial ji & that too in Gujarati! I thank Mamata Didi & wish her a great 2016," Modi tweeted.
Banerjee said: "Glad you liked the New Year greetings I sent you in Gujarati. Thanks too @narendramodi ji for the greetings you sent me in Bengali."
West Bengal is gearing up for the Assembly polls this year which is likely to see a battle between the BJP and the TMC to win seats.
