Amid a massive churn in Maharashtra politics, BJP National Secretary Pankaja Munde today denied reports that she is joining another party, but said in the same breath that she has been ignored and is taking a two-month “holiday”. She also claimed that several BJP MLAs in the state are dissatisfied and are afraid to speak out.
Asked about this, Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis said several people in his party have fought against the NCP for a long time and they won’t immediately accept the BJP’s alliance with it. Mr Fadnavis said the BJP leadership will speak to Pankaja Munde and he believes she will continue to work for the party.
Addressing a press conference today, Ms Munde, who is the daughter of former Union minister Gopinath Munde, said that she will file a defamation case against the channel which reported that she had met Congress leaders Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi.
