Mumtaz shares a thowback moment with Asha Bhonsle

The Trinamool Congress intensified its attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi over his jhalmuri stop in West Bengal’s Jhargram, calling it a political “photo op” that disrupted opposition campaigning. The party alleged that Modi’s extended stay prevented Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren from landing his chopper, forcing him to return to Ranchi without completing his scheduled campaign. TMC accused the Prime Minister of displaying an “Adivasi-birodhi mindset” and claimed the incident amounted to the humiliation of an Adivasi leader. The controversy has further escalated the political confrontation between the BJP and TMC, adding fresh fuel to an already heated electoral battle in the state.
