Last year

Last year UK Prime Minister had tweeted wishes for not only Diwali, but for also a Gujarati new year by mentioning Saal Mubarak.

Sameway American President Obama had also wished Saal Mubarak in his Diwali tweet last year.

However the Indian Prime Minister, whose Twitter handle is @PMOIndia has – like last year – so far failed to tweet Saal Mubarak on Gujarati new year day.
