A war of words broke out between Amruta Fadnavis, wife of former Maharashtra chief minister Devendra Fadnavis, and Shiv Sena leader Priyanka Chaturvedi on Saturday after Amruta said that three per cent of divorces in Mumbai take place due to traffic jams.

“I’m saying this as a common citizen. Once I go out, I see several issues including potholes, traffic. Due to traffic, people are unable to give time to their families and 3 per cent of divorces in Mumbai are happening due to it,” she told reporters.

Following this, Shiv Sena leader Priyanka Chaturvedi, without naming Amruta, tweeted, “Best (il)logic of the day award goes to the lady who claims 3% Mumbaikars are divorcing due to traffic on roads. Please take a holiday break rather than having a mind on brake. Bengaluru families please avoid reading this, can prove fatal for your marriages.”

Responding to Chaturvedi’s tweet, Amruta referred to a report by Survey Monkey — a market research firm and a leader in survey software— and tweeted, “Hey Lady, do not deviate from truth. Report by – Survey Monkey states— Mumbaikar suffers from psychological illness due to huge traffic jams & delay in movement of traffic. There is also fall in employee productivity & increase in divorce rates. All thanks to you and urs.”
