**Mumbai, India** – Amruta Fadnavis, wife of newly sworn-in Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, is celebrating her husband’s third term victory after facing criticism from a Congress leader. Following the BJP’s resounding win in the state elections, securing 132 seats compared to the Congress’s 16, Ms. Fadnavis expressed her joy and pride in her husband’s accomplishment.
“I am happy. Devendra ji has taken oath as Chief Minister for the third time today,” she told NDTV, praising the hard work of BJP party workers, including her husband, in achieving “Mission Maharashtra.” She attributed the BJP’s success to the party’s focus on development, good governance under Prime Minister Modi, and Maharashtra’s prosperity.
Ms. Fadnavis, a singer and former Axis Bank executive, has been active on social media, garnering 1.1 million Instagram followers. Her online presence recently became a target of criticism from Congress leader Kanhaiya Kumar, who questioned her making Instagram reels while her husband campaigned. Kumar’s remarks sparked a controversy, with Devendra Fadnavis countering that the attacks were a result of his opponents’ inability to defeat him politically.
Despite the earlier criticism, Amruta Fadnavis’s celebratory mood underscores the BJP’s decisive victory and the renewed mandate for Devendra Fadnavis’ leadership in Maharashtra. The couple, married since 2005, share a daughter, Divija.
