New Delhi: West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee, on Wednesday, gave a stinging reply to Prime Minister Narendra Modi over his revelation that she sends him kurtas and gifts every year.

While addressing an election rally in Serampore in Hooghly district, Banerjee said it is Bengal's culture to greet guests on “special occasions.” She added without naming PM Modi, “we welcome guests with rosogollas and gifts but not a single vote will be given (to BJP).”

She made these comments right after the interview of Narendra Modi with the actor, Akshay Kumar aired on TV in which he said, “people will be surprised and I should not say this in the election season, but Mamata didi sends me gifts every year. She still sends me one or two kurtas that she picks herself a year.”
