In a spirited response to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's comments about 'jhalmuri,' West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee declared that the state will reveal the true 'jhal' on May 4, when election results are announced. Modi had previously stated that while he enjoyed 'jhalmuri' in Jhargram, the Trinamool Congress (TMC) received a 'jhatka' (jolt) from its 'jhal,' implying a setback for the ruling party. Banerjee, addressing a rally in Bhawanipur, urged voters from diverse communities to support her party in the upcoming results. She also criticized Union Home Minister Amit Shah for his remarks about punishing 'goons' post-election, suggesting that such language was unfit for his position. The political atmosphere in West Bengal remains charged as the election results draw near.
