West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee dismissed Prime Minister Narendra Modi's viral jhalmuri purchase at a vendor's stall in Jhargram on Sunday as staged political theater. She questioned how cameras were positioned inside the shop, claimed SPG prepared the snack, and disputed Modi's authenticity. The vendor Vikram Shaw insisted the encounter was genuine and non-political.
