When is too (fish) too much? Never enough in poll season, one can safely presume. So, after taking on Prime Minister Narendra proposed to cook for him. Speaking at a poll rally in Barrackpore on May 13, she wondered if the prime minister would trust her cooking, since she has been doing so since childhood and invited many a compliment for it. If you’re a Bengali, you could not possibly have missed the occasional sighting of Mamata wielding the ladle in her kitchen during Kali Puja or frying an or two or stopping to make a cuppa at a roadside stall while on an election or administrative tour. Didi also professed her love for both the Gujarati savoury dhokla as well as the Bengali staple . Before you wondered where all this inviting talk was leading up to, Mamata delivered a sour punch, saying Modi’s comments on the dietary habits of others “shows that the BJP leadership has little idea of and concern for the diversity and inclusivity of India and its people”. Enough to choke you on all that goodness, one supposes.
