Fish, Jhalmuri & Politics: BJP Hits Back At Mamata Banerjee Over 'Food Ban' Claims In Bengal
As campaigning for Phase 1 of the West Bengal Assembly elections draws to a close, a fresh political flashpoint has emerged over food. After Mamata Banerjee alleged that the BJP would ban fish and eggs if voted to power, BJP leaders, including Anurag Thakur, hit back by publicly enjoying fish curry and rice in Kolkata. The episode has added a cultural and emotional layer to an already intense electoral battle, with food habits becoming a key campaign talking point.
