Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leaders on Tuesday barged into a Maharashtra Congress press conference at its Mumbai office to protest against the party’s “gungi gudiya” comment on Deputy Chief Minister Sunetra Pawar.
The NCP leaders raised slogans and demanded an apology from state Congress president Harshwardhan Sapkal.
A political row erupted on Monday after the state Congress dubbed Deputy Chief Minister Sunetra Pawar a “gungi gudiya” (mute doll), drawing a sharp backlash from the NCP, which questioned if the Opposition party now endorses the infamous insult once used against late Prime Minister Indira Gandhi.
