West Bengal loves sweets!
And it is difficult to keep this obsession away from politics while the state is in the middle of a fierce battle for ballots. Be it Rasogolla, Kalakand or Sandesh - there is a sweet for every occasion. This time, it’s the election and the sweet shops know that well. With high-voltage political tussle underway in West Bengal, this sweet shop in Howrah captures the mood in bite-size delicacies. The edible miniatures of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, Congress leader Adhir Choudhury, CPI(M) leader Biman Bose and ISF chief Abbas Siddiqi are on display at the sweet shop.
Here is a miniature of PM Modi in his signature kurta. And how could anyone have missed Mamata Banerjee’s wheelchair campaigning. Not only leaders, even party symbols are on the menu. And then the most vocal slogan of the election season - ‘Khela Hobe’ And the most interesting part, these sweets are made from milk solids that can last for at least six months.
