Mumbai mayor Kishori Pednekar has attracted a controversy after replying to a Twitter user over vaccine contract. The mayor used derogatory language against a Twitter user who asked her ‘who got the vaccine contract’ contract after which her reply left everyone in shock.
“Tuzya Bapala” (to your father) replied Pednekar when a Twitter user asked “Contract Konala dila??” (To whom contract has been given?) while commenting on a Marathi news channel’s tweet regarding the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation’s (BMC) global tender on COVID-19 vaccine supply.
Pednekar, a Shiv Sena leader, later deleted the objectionable tweet, but by that time it had gone viral on social media platforms.
Opposition parties quickly latched onto the post to target the mayor.
