GRACIOUS MOVE

WHEN UNION Textiles Minister Smriti Irani tweeted birthday wishes to Saral Patel, who had changed his Twitter handle to ‘Beta’ Saral after a public spat on the micro-blogging site with Irani earlier, she made his day. “Birthday greetings @Saralpatel007, blessings from Auntyji :-),” she tweeted. The birthday boy immediately responded with his tweet, “This is politics with grace! Something which truly makes me proud to be a ‘Beta’ of ‘Dear’ Auntyji. #Respect.” Soon, others started tweeting, wishing Saral and praising Irani.
