Politicians are often not known for practising what they preach, but with chief minister Devendra Fadnavis that does not seem to be the case.

The CM had made it clear that he is against bursting of firecrackers and on Monday — during a Diwali get together with media persons at his residence — it was found that his six-year-old daughter, Divija has also decided not to burst crackers.

Talking about her decision, Divija said: "I was told at my school to do away with bursting firecrackers because small children are involved in its making. Hence, I won't be bursting any firecrackers."

Fadnavis and his wife Amruta informed that they were celebrating their first Diwali in Mumbai. On the occasion, the chief minister shared many personal anecdotes in an informal chat which lasted over two hours. His wife informed that after becoming the chief minister, he doesn't spare any time for the family, but she does not have any complains about it.

She said that if its urgent, she just sends him an SMS and he promptly responds depending upon how busy he is. When asked as to what was her gift on the Padwa Day from her husband, Amruta said it is still not know to her.

Fadnavis, on the other hand, gave a diplomatic reply: "Your question has reminded her about the gift. Now, I would have to do something."

A few journalists asked the CM's daughter as to what was her Diwali purchases, to which she replied: "I just got a dress from my grandmother."
