Shiv Sena (Eknath Shinde faction) MP Milind Deora slammed comedian Kunal Kamra for his controversial joke on Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde. According to the MP, the comedian's joke was a "plan to target self-made politician". "I respect genuine comedians. Balasaheb Thackeray was a famous cartoonist. The Shiv Sena (Uddhav Balasaheb Thackerary faction) is facing very serious legal troubles right now. This is essentially them using someone moonlighting as a comedian and to distance people from their legal troubles," he told NDTV.
