A new social media war started on Wednesday when Amruta Fadnavis, wife of former Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, called Maharashtra Tourism Minister Aaditya Thackeray a ‘cocooned worm’ who would never understand struggles in life.
Former Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Tuesday launched a scathing attack on Shiv Sena over the party’s silence on the controversial remark by AIMIM leader Waris Pathan stating that the party was ‘wearing bangles.’
Responding to Fadnavis’ comments Thackeray in a tweet asked Fadnavis to apologise for his ‘disgraceful’ comment and said, “Shri @Dev_Fadnavis ji, normally I choose not to comment back. Kindly apologise abt bangles comment: bangles are worn by the strongest of all- the women. Politics can go on, but we need to change this discourse. Rather disgraceful coming from a fmr CM.”

Fadnavis was addressing protestors at Azad Maidan where the party launched a protest against Maharashtra government over issues related to farmers and women. Speaking at the protest, the former CM slammed Shiv Sena’s silence and stated that the party is “wearing bangles”.
“Shiv Sena might be wearing bangles but we are not. If someone says something then he will be given an answer in the same way. BJP has this much power,” Fadnavis had said.
