Amruta Fadnavis, wife of former chief minister of Maharashtra and BJP leader Devendra Fadnavis, has termed Shiv Sena as Shav (Corpse) Sena in the way it performed in the recent Bihar elections.
“What is going on exactly? The Shav Sena did kill its own colleague (Congress) in Bihar. No matter where they are taking Maharashtra, but thanks for putting Bihar at right place,” Amruta Fadnavis had tweeted.
Shiv Sena didn’t win a single seat and all but one of their contestant lost their security deposit—that is they got lesser votes than mandated by the Election Commission. It’s also learnt that most of them got lesser votes than NOTA.
Congress, which had fought in alliance with the RJD, won only 19 of the 70 seats it contested.
The Sena and the Congress are partners in the ruling coalition in Maharashtra.
The Shiv Sena got its own on Amruta by stating:
“Don’t let the alphabet ‘A’ in your name go into ‘mruta’ state (dead in Marathi). Realise the importance of ‘A’ in your name Amruta. Don’t bring bad thoughts in your mind during the auspicious occasion of Diwali,” Shiv Sena spokesperson Neelam Gorhe, who is also deputy chairperson in the Legislative Council, said in a statement.
Ms Gorhe said: “You will not benefit by calling the Shiv Sena names.”
