Shiv Sena leader Ambadas Danve on Wednesday said the BJP remained silent on comedian Kunal Kamra's direct jibes at Prime Minister Narendra Modi, but reacted strongly to his parody song that did not mention Eknath Shinde by name. "Kunal Kamra directly criticised Prime Minister Modi in his show, and the BJP took no offence. Deputy Chief Minister Shinde's supporters on Sunday night vandalised a studio in Mumbai where Kamra's show was shot after his parody song went viral. "Whenever we raised issues of public concern, the discussion was diverted to matters like Disha Salian, Aurangzeb's tomb, or Kunal Kamra," Danve said.
