March 1 was the birthday of Nitish Kumar. A lot of birthday wishes were tweeted on his profile. On behalf of BJP, many big leaders including Modi and Jaitley tweeted their greetings for him. Various chief ministers of BJP-ruled states, such as Fadnavis, Raje and Sonowal, also tweeted the birthday greetings to Nitish. But no congratulatory message from key friend Mamata reached the birthday boy.
As a coincidence, March 1 also marked the birthdays of DMK leader Stalin and former West Bengal chief minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharya. Though Mamta did tweet some birthday greetings, but those were for Buddhadeb and Stalin and not Nitish. Rahul Gandhi also tweeted birthday wishes for Stalin, but he also gave Nitish a miss.
