Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Pankaja Munde, who is the party’s national secretary, on Tuesday indicated she would soon re-enter the political arena while remarking that that the people of Maharashtra had lost the “capacity to face disappointment.”
Addressing a massive audience during her annual Dussehra rally in Beed district, Ms. Munde, a former Maharashtra Minister who has been estranged from the BJP top brass, said she would never compromise her principles for the sake of electoral victory.
In a typically ambivalent speech laced with veiled jibes at the ruling parties (her own BJP, the Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena and the Ajit Pawar-led NCP faction), Ms. Munde, the daughter of late BJP stalwart Gopinath Munde, warned that “characterless politicians” would be outvoted by the people in the 2024 elections.
