Fadvya has become total mandir ka ghanta, getting bajaoed by everyone. 🤣🤣🤣 Fadvya also seems a glutton for punishment ugich doing bhaitaad stunts every week. Go star in your marginally better half's music videos instead.

Some people are asking for the original marathi statement by Sanjay Gaikwad for full effect.

"Malaa jar he corona che jantu saapadle tar tya Devendra Fadnavis chya tondaat kombin, itka tiraskar aala aahe hya lokaancha!"

For me the more notable statement in that passionate rant

"Ha Fadnavis jar mukhyamantri asta aani corona aala asta, tar hya bhaDvyaane kaay kela asta?"

(If corona had come when Fadnavis was CM, what would this PIMP have done?)

He called Fadvya a Bhadvya. How disrespectful. 😏

I find that statement of Gaikwad's problematic.
In many places where sex work is legal and well regulated, pimps provide a valuable service. It is insulting to legit hardworking pimps when you equate them with Fadvya.

Btw if you were confused about who this "Champa" he's bashing is, that is Chandrakant "Champa" Patil, the maharastra bjp president and ex officio butler of Fadvya.

If you know a marathi bhakt, weave Champa or Fadvya into political chats. Misogynist bhakts really hate Champa. 😂

Marathi bhakt dudes who forward pappu pappu didi didi jokes sending me indignant messages when I use Champa for Patil. "How can you claim to be a feminist and use Champa as an insult for Patil saheb? 😠" one asked. Like I've never met a sealion before.

Alright, as your resident Marathi English translator, I'm gonna translate this awesome rant now.

"All of Maharashtra can see with wide open eyes the disgusting politics that Maharashtra BJP is playing with corona. Fadnavis, Darekar, and this Champa aka Chandrakant Patil."

"Corona doesn't infect you after asking which party you work for. It's not like only NCP, Sena workers will get the virus. It has engulfed every caste, religion, everyone. BJP should not forget that Maharashtrians are among its 105 MLAs and 20 MPs."

"Companies in Maharashtra making Remdesivir are being ordered not to give it to Maharashtra? Poonawala making the vaccine is being told not to give it to Maharashtra. Requests to the central govt for oxygen are being ignored. They send 150K vaccines to Gujarat."

"They send 50K vaccines from the maharashtra bjp office to gujarat for free. Here in maharashtra, people are suffering, dying and they are being punished. This disgusting and sick politics being done by Modi and BJP in maharashtra is unparalleled in the country, the world!"

"They have extra vaccines to gift to Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal. Does Maharashtra mean less to them than those countries that you're denying your own people? Is this the time to play politics? At a time like this? Modi and Fadnavis should be ashamed of playing politics now."

"If corona had come when Fadnavis was CM, what would this PIMP have done? What would Champa have done? Today, our ministers are doing their best to manage the situation and instead of helping us, you're actively sabotaging us and making fun of our efforts publicly?"

"All for convincing people that our maharashtra government is failing. But if in this attempt to cause and show our failure, hundreds of thousands will die. Think about them! Only someone who's seen family member fight with or die from corona will understand its horror."

"I have an open challenge for BJP members...(stops mid sentence)...If I find those corona viruses, I'll shove them in Devendra Fadnavis' mouth. I find these people repulsive! Stop playing politics. Help people. Let maharashtra and its people stay alive."

"If you keep killing people, who will be left to vote for you?"

That is the video I saw.

The full video and context makes it clear that putting the virus in Fadnavis's mouth was an ad lib outburt by Gaikwad. But the hilarious outcome is that maharashtra bhakt ecosystem is wasting time clutching pearls trying to whip up outrage. Shoe is on the other foot. 🤣🤣

If you want to do your part on social media to fight fascists, post #factcheckbait or clever insults of your own. They are always ready to get outraged. The more time they spend trolling you, the less they will spend spreading propaganda and misinformation.

A meme created by a friend for me 🤣🤣
