Faux pas from didi: When Mamata Banerjee sent 'birthday greetings' to late Jagjit Singh

West Bengal Mamata Banerjee is known for making several faux pas in her speech over the year. Once she said that swine flu is caused mostly by a mosquito bite! On Monday too, Didi made an error when she mistakenly sent birthday greetings to late ghazal singer Jagjit Singh. 

Eminent ghazal exponent Jagjit Singh passed away more than 4 years ago.

Today is his birth anniversary. Mamata wished him birthday alongside tabla maestro Zakir Hussain and former Indian captain Azhar. Soon, Twitterati pointed out her mistake and didi was quick to delete it and tweeted a corrected birthday message. 

Birthday greetings Zakir Hussain, Md Azharuddin. Birthday remembrance Jagjit Singh. And if it is also your birthday today, let me wish u too

However, it was too late as the screenshot of the earlier tweet has gone viral on social media.
