Former Shiv Sena Spokesperson, Sanjay Gupta in one of the podcasts targeted Shiv Sena (UBT) Rajya Sabha MP Priyanka Chaturvedi saying that she is not committed to the party’s ideology. Slamming Chaturvedi, he added, ‘She is a person who prioritises her vested political interests over party’s future’. Sanjay Gupta alleged that the Rajya Sabha MP has influenced Shiv Sena (UBT) to align more closely with Congress, causing the party to drift away from its core Hindutva ideology and compromising its saffron roots.
However, while attempting to question her ideological credentials, Sanjay Gupta made contentious and defamatory remarks against Priyanka Chaturvedi. He insinuated that Priyanka Chaturvedi, a close ally of Shiv Sena (UBT) senior leadership, has “access to bedrooms of senior leadership.” The vile and disgraceful statement towards a woman, which translates to “Priyanka Chaturvedi ki pahunch bedroom tak hai,” has been widely condemned.
Reacting to the clip of the podcast, Chaturvedi tagged Mumbai Police asking them to take action against Sanjay Gupta, former spokesperson of SS (UBT), for making vile comments against her. In her cryptic post, she asserted that Mumbai Police has no credibility left since it being in the pockets of the current Maharashtra’s government led by Shiv Sena and BJP alliance.
“Dear MumbaiPolice – if you have any credibility left in you, and want to take action against malicious lies and defamation you will take action. But oh wait…” she wrote.

Reacting to her post, political commentator Ankur Singh, who runs the political page ‘Political Kida,’ responded by advising Priyanka Chaturvedi to file an FIR instead of merely tagging the police online. He highlighted that tagging Mumbai Police online doesn’t make police file defamation cases.
However, the comment didn’t go down well with Chaturvedi who went on a personal tirade against the popular X handle, and started using name calling to secure his silence on the matter.
Indulging in uncouth name calling, Priyanka Chaturvedi termed Ankur Singh as “the vilest” and accused him of obsessing over her personal life.
“Honestly Ankur?! you have been the vilest. I will do what I have to and I will go for it, hope you understood what you have been doing ! Obsessing over my Instagram and my personal life !”, she reacted.
What’s being said is highly condemnable.
But isn’t it your responsibility also to go and file complaint?
But instead you just tagged police and over.
Police files defamation cases by themselves?

Ankur Singh, in turn, challenged her to show proof of any indecent comments he made. Unable to provide evidence, Rajya Sabha MP Priyanka Chaturvedi attempted to shfit the goal post and invoked the name of his venture, political Kida. She then went further and accused him of working in service of Bharatiya Janata Party.
Just shut up!
I am a political commentator and comment on things just like you do.
Show me one indecent comment. If not, stop the victim play.
You’re just frustrated because you’re Rajya Sabha and ending and you’ll be left just a Troll.

😂😂😂 isn’t political kida run by you? I am not a victim but a fighter, have seen the work by your team. From my T-shirt to my holiday lifted from my Instagram to share on X. Including your handle!
And oh wait also my RS?! Am glad my party gave me a term while likes of…— Priyanka Chaturvedi🇮🇳 (@priyankac19) January 26, 2025
After the baseless accusation of the Rajya Sabha MP, Ankur Singh came up to expose Priyanka Chaturvedi and presented her past tweet where she could be seen disrespecting the women who align with BJP. In the tweet, she referred to BJP-supporting women as “Hate Hags.” She endorsed Outlook magazine’s term for BJP supporters and dared critics to sue her for it.
From me shifted to political kida. And then only could point out to your hypocrisy and poor Maths.
Each and every topic you said have been raised by you also for someone else.
You were giving lectures to BJP on Grief on MMS Death. I pointed out that you yourself was enjoying… pic.twitter.com/JidIbCcacs

“Hate Hags perfect term coined by Outlook magazine for NaMo’s women supporters on social media. Sue me now for saying this” her past tweet said.
Such Trolls went to Rajya Sabha. Sick! https://t.co/p5xcmL09gr

Dumbo, I am not bothered about anyone. I see stupidity and I comment.
Don’t act like one to avoid it.
Rest, You’re nothing but a Troll.
— Ankur Singh (@iAnkurSingh) January 26, 2025
You stood up and again went where you were insulted.
First to Shiv Sena and then again friends with Congress.
Your Moral Compass is worse than your Maths.
— Ankur Singh (@iAnkurSingh) January 26, 2025
In the ensuing verbal exchange, the X user, Ankur Singh retorted sharply to Priyanka Chaturvedi’s name calling spree stating that she was acting “as a troll”. In another post, Singh took a jibe at Priyanka Chaturvedi saying, “Your Moral Compass is worse than your Maths,” flagging her friendly stance against Congress, the party which she left citing harassement.
