Mumbai: Shiv Sena (UBT) Rajya Sabha member Priyanka Chaturvedi has said that 'Maa Baap Gaddaar Hai' should be written on the foreheads of Shrikant Shinde and Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde.

Srikanth is the sitting MP and Shiv Sena candidate from Kalyan Lok Sabha constituency near Mumbai.

Speaking at a campaign rally for Shiv Sena (UBT) Mumbai North East candidate Sanjay Dina Patil in Ghatkopar area here on Wednesday, Chaturvedi referred to the 1975 film "Deewar".

"There was a Hindi film in which 'Mera Baap Chor Hai' was written on the son's hand. Similarly, Shrikant Shinde should have 'Mera Baap Gaddaar Hai' written on his forehead." He said.

Eknath Shinde divided the Shiv Sena by toppling the Maharashtra government led by party president Uddhav Thackeray in June 2022 and forming an alliance with the BJP to become the chief minister himself.

Responding to Chaturvedi's statement, CM Shinde-led Shisena spokesperson Sheetal Mhatre said, "She wanted to contest from Mumbai North West constituency, but because it could not happen, she is making such comments." "This one is also going to end soon, and she's lobbying hard for a second term."
