Yamini Jadhav, a Shiv Sena MLA from Byculla, has faced backlash for distributing burqas to Muslim women in her constituency, an act she defends as supporting women's dignity and inclusivity. Critics, including the BJP and opposition figures, have accused her of 'appeasement politics' aimed at regaining Muslim votes after her defeat in the Lok Sabha elections. Jadhav emphasizes that nearly 50% of her constituents are Muslim and argues that distributing gifts during Diwali to Hindus should be mirrored by providing for the Muslim community as well. BJP Mumbai President Ashish Shelar condemned the burqa distribution, stating it does not align with the party's stance on Hindutva. Despite the criticism, Jadhav insists her actions are not politically motivated but rather a response to community needs. The controversy highlights tensions within the ruling Mahayuti alliance as the Maharashtra assembly elections approach.
