Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis’s wife Amruta Fadnavis, has become the latest victim of social media trolling. She was trolled for attending a Christmas charity event, which aims to collect gifts for poor children, in Mumbai on December 11.

However, her act did not go down well with some Twitterati who started slamming her. She was even accused of promoting a charity linked to Christmas, while others accused her of “spreading Christianity”.

She soon came with a reply saying that “love, sharing & empathy have no religion.”
Love , sharing & empathy have no religion – let’s accept all positivity around us & stay away from negative thoughts & demotivating energies ! @ShefVaidya

However, this didn’t convinced Vaidya, and she hit back at Fadnavis asking her to not be a “writer of ‘Chicken Soup For The Evangelical Soul’.
(FYI, ‘evangelical’ is anything related to the teachings of Christianity.)
Dear @fadnavis_amruta DO get your SM team to read all the replies to this tweet. Respect the will of people who elected your husband rather than sounding like a writer of ‘Chicken Soup For The Evangelical Soul’ https://t.co/HOouBopHLZ

This prompted the First Lady of Maharashtra to come back at her with a stronger response.
I’m a proud Hindu & like many, I celebrate every festival in my country & that is an individual choice…. We represent the true spirit of our country … and that doesn’t dilute our love towards our country , religion & humanity ….

Vaidya again took aim at her:
As a private individual you are free to do what you want. As the First Lady of Maharashtra, your actions will always be open to scrutiny and criticism. And who is ‘We’ here? https://t.co/C43YT0APyi

However, Fadnavis remained firm on her stand:
In my capacity as a Proud Hindu Citizen, I will always try to unite & bring in harmony wherever I can. But just wish to remind you that empathetic journalists & journalism should not ignite the fire of religious differences .Ican’t stop a serene action bcoz of some wrong deeds!

So what’s your opinion who has won this round on Twitter?
Amruta has vigorously started pursuing social causes like village development. She has adopted two villages and is also an adviser to different NGOs working for the causes that she believes in.
