The Trinamool Congress (TMC) has accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of causing a significant disruption during his campaign in West Bengal by extending his stop for 'jhalmuri' snacks, which led to the denial of landing permission for Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren and his wife. The TMC claims that Soren and MLA Kalpana Soren were kept waiting for hours and ultimately forced to return to Ranchi without completing their scheduled program. The party criticized Modi's actions as disrespectful towards Adivasi leaders, suggesting that he prioritizes personal moments over the needs of elected representatives. Modi, while in Jhargram, framed the upcoming elections as a battle for Bengal's identity and accused the TMC of failing to support tribal regions.
