Miraculous Recovery: Mayor Ritu Tawde's Divine Encounter

Mumbai's Mayor Ritu Tawde has made headlines after crediting her recovery from a prolonged throat ailment to divine intervention. Addressing a crowd in Borivali, she exclaimed that despite extensive medical treatment, it was the blessings of a 'gurudev' that restored her voice, labeling it a 'big miracle'.

Tawde, the second BJP corporator to become Mumbai's mayor in four decades, spoke of her encounter with the Jain priest as transformative. Her statements have sparked discussion, with some colleagues asserting that divine blessings also played a role in her political career.

Meanwhile, critics, including Shiv Sena's Sanjay Raut, remained skeptical, hinting at past cases involving controversial figures like godman Ashok Kharat. Despite the mixed reactions, Tawde's claims have fostered a debate on the influence of spiritual beliefs in politics.
