Arvind Kejriwal turns 51, Modi greets him

Prime Minister Narendra Modi greeted Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on his birthday and prayed for his good health and long life as the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) convenor turned 51 on Friday.

"Birthday greetings to Kejriwal. Praying for his good health and long life," the Prime Minister tweeted.

Responding, Kejriwal tweeted: "Thank u so much PM sir for your good wishes."

The AAP and the Modi governments have been at loggerheads over a string of issues since Kejriwal became the Chief Minister in February 2015.
