PM Narendra Modi wishes Bihar CM Nitish Kumar a happy birthday

New Delhi/Patna: Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar are known bitter foes.

Both leave no stone unturned to hit out at each other when addressing political rallies.

However, as has been the tradition in Indian politics, leaders also don't shy away from extending courtesies on occasions.

As Nitish is celebrating his birthday on Tuesday, Prime Minister Modi had this to say to the Bihar leader:

Birthday wishes to Bihar CM @NitishKumar ji. May he be blessed with a long and healthy life.

— Narendra Modi (@narendramodi) March 1, 2016

We are waiting to see how Nitish reacts to the birthday greetings extended by the PM.

Just yesterday, the JD(U) strongman had hit out at the Modi government post Budget:

सतही तौर पर सही, अपने तीसरे बजट में कम से कम मोदी सरकार को किसानों, ग्रामीण क्षेत्र और सोशल सेक्टर की याद तो आई! — Nitish Kumar (@NitishKumar) February 29, 2016

हास्यास्पद है कि UPA सरकार की जिन योजनाओं को इस सरकार ने सिरे से नकारा था, आज उन्हीं योजनाओं को वह अपने बजट का आधार बता रही है. — Nitish Kumar (@NitishKumar) February 29, 2016

Update: Nitish Kumar has responded to PM Modi's birthday greetings. The Bihar CM tweeted:

Thank you @narendramodi ji for your call & warm birthday wishes.Our government and the people of Bihar look forward to your visit on March12 — Nitish Kumar (@NitishKumar) March 1, 2016
