New Delhi, Jan 20: West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has written a letter to PM Modi demanding Swami Vivekananda and Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose's birth anniversaries be declared national holidays.
In a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Banerjee demanded that January 12 and January 23 should be considered as national holidays.
