West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of staging his recent "jhalmuri" break during a campaign stop, alleging pre-planned arrangements and camera installations. She countered PM Modi's jhalmuri reference by listing diverse foods she consumes, questioning the BJP's confidence and suggesting EVM tampering. PM Modi had previously used the jhalmuri anecdote to target the TMC.
