New Delhi: West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's exchange with a Trinamool Congress party worker on a bunch of questions about his weight and health from a party meeting is going viral on the internet. The party worker was making a statement during the meet when the CM interrupted him to ask, “the way your belly is growing seems like you could collapse any moment, are you unwell?” The party worker who didn’t seem to be offended said that he “neither has sugar nor pressure” and that he is healthy. He spent the next few minutes trying to convince the CM that he is fit.
Mamata Banerjee kept pushing on. "There is definitely some problem... how can you have such a giant Madhya Pradesh," which was a pun for the 'middle section'.
As the relentless cross-questioning continued, he said he eats 'pakodi' every morning and inculcated the habit since he was a child.
“how has your MadhyaPradesh (tummy) grown so big?” CM #MamataBanerjee was caught worried about the health of her municipality leader who weighs 125 kgs yet admittedly eats pakoras every morning. The conversation is hilarious. The chairman tried hard to prove his workout abilities pic.twitter.com/hDZw3OFamQ

On hearing the excuse the CM shaked her head disapprovingly and said, "Why do you eat pakodi everyday? Then you can never lose weight."
The party worker in his defence added that he works out for three hours every day. When asked what exercise he follows, the worker demonstrated Kapal Bhati (a breathing exercise) and said that he performs 1,000 Kapal Bhati.
Mamata Banerjee, who refused to believe the party worker, said that he didn’t know how to inhale and exhale properly. She then asked him to demonstrate it on the stage adding she will give him Rs 10,000 on the spot if he did so.
