Traffic Jams Leads to Divorce In India : Amruta
(The Quiver) : BJP leader and former Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis’ wife Amruta Fadnavis has invited a meme fest on social media, claiming that traffic jams in Mumbai were leading to increasing divorce in the city.
Speaking to the media on Saturday, Ms Fadnavis said that potholes and traffic congestion on Mumbai roads were the reason for three per cent of divorces in the metropolitan city.
Her attempt at finding a bizarre co-relation between the poor condition of Mumbai’s roads and a breakdown in relationships has sparked a torrent of reactions from social media users. While some came up with their own funny takes, a few questioned the data source.
“Forget I am Fadnavis’s wife. I am speaking as a common citizen. I step out of the house every day like a normal woman. I too have to face traffic and potholes on the roads. Due to traffic, 3% of the cases lead to divorce because people are unable to give time to their families,” she said.
