PM Modi’s jhalmuri break in Jhargram leaves Trinamool fuming

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday (April 19, 2026) savoured jhalmuri, a popular Bengali puffed rice snack, during a break from back-to-back public meetings in West Bengal.

Mr. Modi shared photographs and videos of the unlikely event, where he is seen asking the shopkeeper to prepare jhalmuri. The vendor initially declines when the PM offers to pay, before accepting the money upon the latter’s insistence.
