On April 17, Munde, who had gone to inspect the drought-hit Latur district, was seen taking a selfie in the village where the river desilting work was underway. Following criticism over the photograph, Munde had to skip a Cabinet meeting and remained out of bounds for a long time. She later clarified that she took the selfie to capture “some amount of water in a river, which was a rare sight in Latur rivers.”
“Oh, this picture had created quite a stir…It was there all over TV channels and debates,” said B. Surve, a police official visiting the exhibition.
Piyusha Awachar, a student, said, “The pictures are riveting. Each one reflects the creativity of the photographer. The picture of minister Munde taking selfie in a drought-hit region had drawn a lot of criticism for her when it first published,” she said.
