NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday took a candid jhalmuri break amid the hustle, bustle and political heat of West Bengal, where the BJP, led by him, is mounting a strong challenge to
Mamata Banerjee’s 15-year incumbency.
After concluding his address in jhargram, PM Modi walked up to a jhalmuri stall and said, “Bhai, hume apna jhalmuri khilao.”
As the vendor prepared the snack, the Prime Minister engaged him in a brief chat, asking, “Kitne ka hota hai jhalmuri?”
He then reached into the pocket of his Nehru jacket to pay. Meanwhile, the vendor asked, “Aap pyaaz khaate hain?”, PM replied, “Haan, pyaaz khaate hain. Dimag nhi khaate bass.”
PM Modi held multiple rallies across Bengal on Sunday, addressing gatherings in Bankura, Purulia, Jhargram and Medinipur, further intensifying the already heated contest between the TMC and the BJP.
