Devendra Fadnavis is leading all the headlines at the moment after Congress leader, Kanhaiya Kumar targetted his wife, Amruta Fadnavis.

Further in his statement, the Congress leader took a dig at Maharashtra's Deputy Chief Minister, Devendra Fadnavis' wife, Amruta, for making Instagram reels.

Further, in his conversation with ANI, Devendra Fadnavis also revealed that he and his wife, Amruta Fadnavis, have received much hate on social media for the past five years. Sharing how a troll army is after them, and they never skip a chance to disrupt their peace, Devendra looked disappointed. When asked about Amruta's reaction to the online trolling, Devendra revealed that he had told his wife that it was the cost we need to pay to be in politics. He said:
"I am not surprised by this. My wife and I have suffered for the last 5 years. Their troll army makes allegations against my wife, but I told my wife that we are in politics and we have to keep patience. They only wanted to defeat Devendra Fadnavis. But I gained from this due to my track record."
Devendra Fadnavis is a huge name in Indian politics, but not everyone knows that even his wife, Amruta, is quite popular on social media.
