Once I go out, I see several issues including potholes, traffic.

Addressing media persons here after an event, she alleged that the MVA was functioning as a monopoly and that the government was just a ‘vasooli’ government. Mumbai Mayor Kishori Pednekar criticized Amruta Fadnavis’ claim. “Amrita Fadnavis is the wife of our former chief minister. Her allegation is astonishing that traffic leads to divorce. There can be many reasons for divorce but this for the first time I have heard this,” said Pednekar.

Meanwhile, Twitter had a gala time trolling the statement, with many making memes and jokes. One user wrote, ”Three percent divorces in Mumbai are reportedly because of potholes and traffic. That is an amazingly specific number.” A few supported her statement, with another user saying, ”She does have a point. The stress from living in this infrastructure deficit city does have a role to play in a persons mental well-being which has a direct impact on interpersonal relationships.”

On a serious note, epic thought to correlate time on road with failed marriages. Sounds fascinating even if came without logic. Or with one. https://t.co/CSpFnz0htJ

Bangalore traffic jams are better in that case, they don't allow couples to get married only. https://t.co/C8u3rwdzln

If you go by this bizarre logic then #Bengaluru would have been the divorce capital of India instead of #IT capital. Anything for media coverage. 🤦🤦
