Mamata Didi used to gift me with kurtas every year: PM Modi
New Delhi, Apr 24 (IBNS): A day after launching an unsparing attack on the West Bengal Chief Minister, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday in a non-political chat with actor Akshay Kumar said Mamata Banerjee used to gift him with kurtas and sweets every year.
When asked about his terms with opposition leaders, Modi said: "People will be surprised to know that Mamata Di used to gift me with kurtas and send sweets once or twice a year."
Modi said Banerjee started gifting him after knowing that Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina does the same.
This comes a day after Modi attacked his political rival Banerjee, who heads the Trinamool Congress, at her ruled-state West Bengal.
Modi said blessings of people are required to get the Prime Minister's chair, referring to Banerjee's political ambition.

In the chat with Akshay, the Prime Minister also said he has a number of friends in the opposition including Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad.
"We used to have meals together once or twice a year," the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)'s poster-boy said.
The two veteran politicians are having a bitter terms in the political arena in the course of the Lok Sabha polls. While Modi is calling Banerjee a "speed breaker" to development, the latter terms the Prime Minister as "jhoota (false)".
