He has jumped from Nationalist Congress Party to Bharatiya Janata Party like a kangaroo and today he is passing such derogatory comments about women of Maharashtra, about Rashmi Bhabhi,” Ms Pednekar told ANI.
She asks the reason behind dragging Rashmi. “What could be the reason for dragging Rashmi Bhabhi, whom we know as Balasaheb Thackeray’s daughter-in-law, Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray’s wife and Aditya Thackeray’s mother,” she added.
