Notably, in 2014, when Devendra Fadnavis first became Maharashtra Chief Minister, Amruta had publicly refused to quit her job. At the time, she was serving as Associate Vice President and heading the bank’s premium branch in Nagpur.
“I won’t leave my job. I have worked hard to get here. I believe every woman should try to be financially independent. I will always keep working because I too want to grow intellectually. It is a strong point of my identity,” she had said then.
