Political watchdogs did not miss the radio silence as PM Modi failed to tweet a customary birthday greeting to CM Yogi this year. This added fuel to the speculation that there are tensions in ruling party months ahead of a high-stakes assembly election.
PM Modi, who doesn’t miss out on extending congratulatory messages to not just leaders in India but his foreign counterparts did not have a similar message for CM Yogi. But reports quoting sources in the Prime Minister's Office, pointed out PM Modi had spoken to Yogi Adityanath on the phone on Saturday and wished him on his birthday personally.
Quoting an unnamed source India Today said "The PM has not greeted any leader since the last week of April. It’s a sad period for the nation. People have suffered. PM has greeted people on festivals but individual greetings to leaders have been stopped.”
