Maharashtra’s power corridors are buzzing after Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Priyanka Chaturvedi’s scathing label for the Mahayuti alliance: ‘Mahajhoothi.’ Triggered by the ongoing mayor selection imbroglio, her comments cut deep into the BJP-led coalition’s credibility.
The dispute over allocating mayor positions has turned ugly, with allies trading barbs instead of building bridges. Chaturvedi accused them of betraying public trust for personal gain. ‘Seven seats came at the cost of crores – that’s your Mahayuti,’ she mocked, exposing what she sees as a sham partnership driven by greed.
On the cricket front, she fired back at BCB chief Nazmul Hassan’s T20 World Cup boycott threat over ‘safety’ concerns. ‘India ensures security like no other; Bangladesh should fix its own house first,’ Chaturvedi stated, alluding to the precarious conditions for Hindus amid rising unrest.
Domestically, the Noida tragedy – where a software professional took his life – drew her sharpest rebuke. ‘Suspending the CEO is window dressing; the DM’s inaction is the real crime,’ she said, highlighting bureaucratic inertia that cost a young life.
Chaturvedi’s timely interventions weave together local governance failures, sporting spats, and human rights woes into a compelling opposition narrative. In Maharashtra, where alliances are tested daily, her voice amplifies calls for transparency and reform, setting the stage for intensified political skirmishes.
