In an inflammatory statement that has sparked uproar, Sushma Andhare, a spokesperson for the Shiv Sena UBT's neo-Buddhist faction, insulted Lord Krishna, questioning his absence or rather his Avatar in today’s tumultuous times. A video of the incident has gone viral as Andhare's remarks has ignited outrage among religious communities.
Reciting the popular 'Yada Yada Hi Dharmasya' Shloka from Bhagavad Gita, Sushma Andhare said, "Bhagwan Shrikrishna said that he will take Avatar every time Dharma is in danger. Ab kya kam paap hore hai, phir bhi Krishna jaman nhi lera hai..Bechara busy hoga. Itni sari Gopikayen hai, kisi ek Gopi k sath date par gaya hoga... If Dharma is in danger now, why has Krishna not come? Is he busy dating a Gopika?” Andhare remarked during a public address.
The caustic comment, laced with sarcasm, has stirred up a hornet’s nest, with many calling it a blatant insult to one of Hinduism's most revered deities.

The comment not only questions Lord Krishna’s divine promise to uphold Dharma but also ridicules his well-known pastimes with the Gopikas, sacred stories cherished in the Bhakti tradition. By reducing these spiritual narratives to crude insinuations, Andhare's words have deeply hurt the sentiments of devout Hindus, with critics accusing her of crossing the line between free speech and outright blasphemy.
