EARLIER IN THE WEEK, MATONDKAR ADDRESSED A YOUTHFUL CROWD, MANY OF WHOM WERE FIRST-TIME VOTERS. THIS WAS ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT AS JUST HOURS AFTER DECLARING HER CANDIDATURE, MATONDKAR FACED THE WRATH OF TROLLS WHO DECLARED HER CONVERSION TO ISLAM. HER WIKIPEDIA PAGE WAS ALTERED BY CYBER-MISCREANTS. THEY CHANGED HER NAME, RELIGION AND OTHER DETAILS, SPARKING A FURORE AMONG HER RELATIVES AND FOLLOWERS. "THIS IS SHEER NONSENSE PERPETRATED BY SOME MISCHIEVOUS ANTI-SOCIAL ELEMENTS. WIKIPEDIA SHOULD TAKE ACTION AGAINST THEM," DECLARED HER UPSET FATHER, SHRIKANT MATONDKAR.
