Mumbai Mayor's 'Miracle Cure' Remark Ignites Political Firestorm, Raut Jabs Back
•Mumbai Mayor Ritu Tawde credited a Jain gurudev's blessing for curing her chronic throat ailment, calling it a "big miracle."
•The statement was made at the 'Bhagwan Mahavir Janma Kalyanak Mahotsav' and was a personal disclosure by the Mayor.
•Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut seized on the word "miracle," drawing parallels to the ongoing Ashok Kharat godman controversy, implying a connection.
•Tawde sharply rebutted Raut, clarifying she expressed personal faith, not promoted superstition, and criticized political opportunism.
•The controversy highlights the thin line between personal faith and public responsibility, especially amidst a godman scandal in Maharashtra.
