Political slugfest over Kunal Kamra rocks Maharashtra

The Statesman Bhubaneswar

|

March 25, 2025

A political slugfest has broken out in Maharashtra after CM Devendra Fadnavis himself demanded an apology from stand-up comic Kunal Kamra on Monday, even as Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) opposition leaders began to support Kamra.

- STATESMAN NEWS SERVICE

Fadnavis said, "Even though there is freedom to do stand-up comedy, he (Kunal Kamra) cannot speak whatever he wants. The people of Maharashtra have decided who the traitor ("gaddaar") is. Kunal Kamra should apologise. This will not be tolerated. There is a right to do comedy, but if it is being done to defame our Deputy CM Eknath Shinde deliberately, then it is not right".
