Devendra Fadnavis criticized Rahul Gandhi during a discussion in Mumbai regarding UPI fee policies.

The discussion centered on the revised Merchant Discount Rate (MDR) fees on UPI transactions. Fadnavis defended the government's stance, noting that the fee was nominal and applied only to specified transactions.
