West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee criticized Prime Minister Narendra Modi's recent campaign stop at a jhalmuri stall in Jhargram, claiming it was a 'scripted drama' designed for media attention. She questioned how cameras were already present at the stall when Modi made an unscheduled visit on Sunday, suggesting that the entire episode was pre-planned. Banerjee highlighted Modi's portrayal as a common man, noting his use of a ₹10 note for the snack, and dismissed it as unconvincing. Additionally, she accused the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of deploying central forces to manipulate the election process and of attempting to divide communities through the women's reservation bill. Modi's jhalmuri break involved him engaging with locals, asking for the price of the snack, and sharing it with children nearby, which Banerjee characterized as a staged event to distract voters from real issues.
