There is no fault of Amruta Fadnavis in this matter. But the question is, how can a person trying to take a bribe of Rs one crore reach your home, asks Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena in ‘Saamana’
Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister’s wife Amruta Fadnavis’ name figured in the latest editorial of Shiv Sena (UBT) mouthpiece ‘Saamana’ as the Uddhav Thackeray faction claimed that “money and bribery have become the word” in the state.
“Maharashtra has got the image of giving and taking bribes. Now the question arises whether this state will remain the state of saints in future? The Maharashtra government (led by Eknath Shinde and Devendra Fadnavis) is silent on the Adani controversy. Anything can happen in this state right now. The rule of law has clearly broken down. And if this continues, the image of Maharashtra will be tarnished.”

Though Amrita has lodged an FIR in this regard, the matter should be probed thoroughly, as it is serious,” Shiv Sena UBT said.
The editorial further reiterated that the only thing to think about in this matter is how someone tried to bribe people belonging to top state leaders. The Thackeray group concluded, “In other words, the talk in Maharashtra now is that everything can be achieved with money and bribery.”
