From PM Modi’s jhalmuri stop to birthday celebration: Jhargram vendor keeps memory alive
Kolkata, Sep 17 (PTI) A roadside jhalmuri stall in Jhargram shot into the national spotlight after Prime Minister Narendra Modi stopped there during his assembly election campaign in April and sampled the popular Bengali snack, with photos and videos of the encounter quickly going viral on social media.
On Thursday, its owner turned that fleeting moment into a personal birthday tribute for Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Vikram Kumar Sahu, who runs the Chavan Lal Special Jhalmuri stall near Raj College More, celebrated the Prime Minister’s birthday at his shop, putting up photographs of their brief encounter, sharing the memory on social media and serving customers larger-than-usual portions of the puffed-rice snack on the occasion.
