Kolkata: West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has expressed happiness over Mother Teresa’s elevation to sainthood.

“Very, very happy with the good news that The Pope announces Blessed Mother Teresa of Kolkata will be made a Saint on September 4,” she tweeted.

Pope Francis on Tuesday had approved Mother Teresa’s elevation to sainthood and set 4 September as the date for her canonisation.
