Kunal Kamra controversy: What was the joke that angered Eknath Shinde supporters?

Comedian Kunal Kamra's latest stand-up gig uploaded online has angered Maharashtra deputy chief minister Eknath Shinde's supporters and they on Sunday night vandalized the venue in Mumbai where the act was filmed and warned that this was "just a trailer.

While a complaint has been filed against the comedian for allegedly making defamatory remarks against Shinde, Khar police in western Mumbai detained Shiv Sena deputy leader Rahool Kanal and Vibhag Pramukh Shrikant Sarmalkar along with others for vandalising the Unicontinetal The Habitat in Khar West.

What was Kunal Kamra's joke?

In his latest gig, Kunal Kamra took a swipe at Maharashtra politics. He was referring to how Eknath Shinde and Ajit Pawar broke away from Shiv Sena and Nationalist Congress Party respectively.

 “Jo inhone Maharashtra ke election me kia hai... bolna padega... pehle Shiv Sena BJP se bahar aa gayi fir Shiv Sena Shiv Sena se bahar aa gayi... NCP NCP se bahar aa gayi... ek voter ko 9 button dediye... sab confuse ho gaye…,” Kunal Kamra said.

“Chalu ek jan ne kia tha... wo Mumbai me bohot badhiya ek district hai Thane waha se aate hain…”, Kunal Kamra added before singing a song which seemed to be his spin of a song of Dil To Pagal Hai.

“Thane ki rickshaw, chehre pe daadi, aankho me chashma haaye... Thane ki rickshaw, chehre pe daadi, aankho me chashma haaye...ek jhalak dikhlaye kabhi Guwahati me chup jaaye...meri nazar se tum dekho gaddar nazar wo aaye... mantri nahi wo dalbadlu hai aur kaha kya jaaye... jiss thali me khaye usme hi chhed kar jaaye... mantralay se zyada Fadnavis ki godi me mil jaye... teer kaman mila hai isko baap mera yeh chahe...,” Kunal Kamra sang, without taking names.
