"Every woman in Maharashtra must be cautious of these Maha Vikas Aghadi members. They cannot bear to see women empowerment. The entire Maharashtra is witnessing how Congress and these alliance people have resorted to insulting women. What kind of obscene language? What kind of comments are being made to demean women?" PM Modi said.
"No mother or sister in Maharashtra can ever forgive these actions of the alliance members," he added.

“Imported maal doesn’t work here, only original maal works. We have original maal,” Sawant said without naming Shaina NC.
