Political Storm Erupts as Comedian's Act Sparks Controversy

Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde criticized comedian Kunal Kamra's jibe as crossing decorum, stressing the need for limits on freedom of speech. Kamra's performance sparked a political stir and vandalism by Shiv Sena members. Shinde prioritizes development over reacting to allegations.

Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde has strongly objected to a satire by comedian Kunal Kamra, comparing it to a 'supari' or contract, and emphasizing the need for responsible freedom of speech.

The controversy arose when Kamra mocked Shinde's political career in a show, which included parodies and comments on recent political events, leading to unrest among Shiv Sena members.

Despite the turmoil, Shinde maintains his focus on development initiatives and refuses to retaliate with words, insists that his work speaks for itself.
