Mahua Moitra`s dig at PM Modi in birthday wish: `Like extinct cheetahs, our rapidly extinguishing constitutional...`

While the TMC leader referred to cheetahs and constitutional rights in her wish, the official Twitter handle of Congress, while wishing the PM, took a dig and said Modi`s birthday is celebrated as the national unemployment day.

Trinamool Congress fiery leader Mahua Moitra has often been at loggerheads with the BJP and has made headlines with her tweets and comments. On PM Narendra Modi's 72nd birthday, Mahua took to Twitter to wish the Prime Minister. But she took a sly dig also by referring to "our rapidly extinguishing constitutional protections" and the Namibian cheetahs that PM Modi released in MP's Kuno National Park.  Mahua tweeted, "Happy birthday to our Honourable Prime Minister - may he look out for our rapidly extinguishing constitutional protections much the same way as he does for extinct cheetahs."

But it was not just Mahua, even the Congress' national handle took a dig at Modi while greeting him. The Hindi tweet translates to, "Happy Birthday to PM Narendra Modi. God bless you with a long life. You have done a lot for the youth of the country. This is the reason why today is being celebrated as 'National Unemployed Day'. Every unemployed in the country is grateful to you."
