New Video Sparks Political Debate

The comedian, known for his sharp political satire, dropped the video on social media, taking direct jabs at the Centre’s handling of the economy. The video, laced with humor and criticism, questioned inflation, unemployment, and budget allocations.

While Kamra did not directly address the Eknath Shinde row, his move to release another politically charged video suggests that he remains unfazed by criticism from the ruling party and its supporters.

Eknath Shinde Controversy

Kamra recently sparked a political storm after making comments about Maharashtra CM Eknath Shinde, which led to strong reactions from Shiv Sena (Shinde faction) leaders and BJP allies. Calls for action against him were made, but Kamra remained defiant, stating that "comedy thrives on free speech, and criticism is part of democracy."

Political Reactions

Following his latest video, BJP and Shiv Sena leaders have condemned Kamra, accusing him of "crossing limits in the name of comedy." However, opposition leaders and free speech advocates have defended him, stating that satire is a key pillar of democracy.

Meanwhile, Kamra has maintained his stance, often responding to critics with sarcasm and humor.

What’s Next?

With elections approaching and political tensions high, Kamra’s satire continues to stir debate. Whether authorities take further action against him remains to be seen, but for now, the comedian appears determined to keep speaking his mind.
