Trinamool Congress MP Rachana Banerjee's "quintals of water" remark during a visit to flood-affected areas has sparked a meme fest on social media. The Hooghly MP was visiting flood-hit areas in the district Tuesday. Speaking to the media, she said, "Quintals and quintals of water have come. The situation is so unfortunate that people don't have homes, they are on the street now."
Large quantities of water are measured in cusecs and the quintal unit the Trinamool MP used is a measure of mass and is widely used for foodgrains and other eatables.
An actor and anchor of the popular TV show Didi No. 1, Ms Banerjee became a Lok Sabha MP this year after she defeated sitting BJP Locket Chatterjee in the general election.
