Amruta Fadnavis took a jibe at Shiv Sena over its weak performance in Bihar elections. The Shiv Sena hit out at Amruta Fadnavis, wife of BJP leader Devendra Fadnavis, over her crucial remarks against the party and said she should understand that every alphabet is important.

On Thursday, Amruta Fadnavis took a dig at the Uddhav Thackeray-led party over its weak performance in the Bihar assembly elections and called it "Shav (corpse) Sena". The Shiv Sena, which heads the MVA government in Maharashtra, told her to recognize the importance of alphabets in her own name.

"Don't let the alphabet 'A' in your name go into 'mruta' state (dead in Marathi). Realize the importance of 'A' in your name Amruta. Don't bring bad thoughts in your mind during the auspicious occasion of Diwali," Shiv Sena spokesperson Neelam Gorhe, who is also deputy chairperson in the Legislative Council, said in a statement. Ms Gorhe said: "You will not benefit by calling the Shiv Sena names."
