A candid video of Prime Minister Narendra Modi enjoying 'jhalmuri', a traditional Bengali snack, has taken social media by storm, accumulating over 100 million views on Instagram within just 24 hours. Modi's unscheduled stop at a jhalmuri shop in Jhargram, West Bengal, occurred during a hectic campaign period just days before the Assembly elections. The video not only highlights Modi's popularity but also led to a significant spike in Google searches for jhalmuri, reaching the highest levels in 22 years. In the clip, Modi engages with the shopkeeper, insisting on paying ₹10 (approximately $0.12 USD) for the snack and humorously stating, “Pyaaz khaate hai, dimag nai khaate bas” (I eat onions, not brains). The jhalmuri stall, run by Vikram Sah from Bihar’s Gaya district, saw an influx of visitors following the Prime Minister's visit. Modi's attire, featuring a white kurta and a BJP-emblazoned scarf, further emphasized his connection to the event. As West Bengal faces intense political competition between the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the ruling Trinamool Congress (TMC), this viral moment underscores the impact of social media in modern campaigning.
