West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee took a jibe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 'unscheduled' stop to buy 'jhalmuri' during poll campaigning in Jhargram.
'How were cameras present when he made the 'unscheduled' stop? The entire episode was scripted,' she said at an election rally in the Murarai assembly constituency on April 20.
The prime minister's video on his Instagram account alone hit 100 million views since Sunday evening, several BJP backers online noted on Monday.
PM Modi paid in cash for a serving of the street food made of puffed rice, green chill, and a dozen or more spices or smaller ingredients.
Trinamool Congress chief Banerjee took a jibe at his payment mode too. 'He was seen carrying a ₹10 note in his pocket. Is it believable? It's all drama.'
Mamata Banerjee questioned the spontaneity of the whole episode: 'Cameras were placed there beforehand. The SPG had arranged for the whole thing.'
