BJP national secretary and former Minister in the Maharashtra government Panjaka Munde, who recently announced her decision to take a break for ‘one-two month’ from politics, has been asked by the party’s top leadership in New Delhi to “immediately reconsider” her decision, especially in light of the crucial Madhya Pradesh Assembly elections on the horizon.
Ms. Munde, along with the former general secretary of the BJP, P Muralidhar Rao, was given charge of the State, but since the announcement of a split in the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) and the Ajit Pawar faction joining the NDA government in the State, Ms. Munde has publicly declared her intention to take a sabbatical.
