**Sillod, Maharashtra:** In a shocking incident, women in the village of Wangi Budruk, Sillod Taluka, have publicly burned sarees distributed by Abdul Sattar, a minister in the Shinde faction of the Shiv Sena. The incident, captured on video and now circulating widely on social media, comes amidst a heated political climate ahead of the Maharashtra assembly elections.
Sattar had distributed the sarees to women in the village as a gesture of goodwill during the Navratri festival. However, the move sparked outrage among the local Maratha community, who deemed the gesture inappropriate and an attempt to garner votes. The video shows a large group of women burning the sarees in a public demonstration, their anger evident.
This incident highlights the sensitivity surrounding the upcoming elections and the growing tensions between the Maha Vikas Aghadi and the Maha Yuti alliance. The saree burning incident is likely to further escalate the political rivalry and add fuel to the ongoing political drama.
