Shiv Sena leader Priyanka Chaturvedi and Devendra Fadnavis’ banker wife Amruta Fadnavis exchanged swords on Twitter Friday morning over the Mumbai police salary accounts at Axis Bank. The duo often get involved in discussions on Twitter.
On Thursday, the Mumbai police decided to transfer 40,000 accounts from Axis Bank to HDFC Bank. Amruta holds a senior position at Axis Bank.
Priyanka Chaturvedi, who praised the decision to move the accounts, wrote on Twitter: “The Mumbai police will soon transfer the salary accounts of 50,000 police officers from Axis bank. A much-needed move considering how arbitrarily the bank was chosen and the salary accounts of state government employees were moved overnight. “
Citing the tweet, Amruta wrote: “Axis Bank is not my family’s bank, it is the third largest publicly traded private sector bank and I am an employee who has worked for the same bank for 18 years. How will an opportunist dal badlu (renegade) understand this honesty and hard work! These accounts were acquired in 2005: technology and services ”.
The dispute continued and Priyanka Chaturvedi, who left Congress to join Shiv Sena in 2019, reacted sharply to the mockery of the ‘renegade’ and sided with Eknath Khadse. “Why did it hit you so hard when I didn’t even mention you and why does the decision of the Mumbai police hurt if it’s not your family’s bank? I said it was arbitrary, why did it hit you? About dal badlu (turncoat) a bit, maybe Eknath Khadse ji will answer you better, ”wrote leader Shiv Sena. Eknath Khadse resigned from the BJP, a party he served for decades, blaming Devendra Fadnavis for “destroying” his life. The veteran leader joined NCP on Friday.
Explaining why the Mumbai police transferred their payroll accounts to Axis Bank, Amruta Fadnavis said it was done “simply on the basis of the technology and services offered by the bank.” “The mandate for these accounts was received in 2005 on October 29! Dirty politics cannot bog down the honest and strong, ”Amruta wrote.
The Mumbai Police contract with Axis Bank ended on July 31, 2020.
