When younger sister's ticket cut, Pankaja said - 'BJP gave respect but...'
bjp has released its second candidate list for the lok sabha elections, which includes 20 seats in Maharashtra. This time bjp has given a chance to new data-faces by canceling the tickets of some sitting MPs. In this sequence, Pritam Munde's ticket has been canceled from Beed and in his place his sister Pankaja Munde, who was in political exile, has been fielded.
Pankaja Munde's reaction has come on the bjp leadership canceling the ticket of sister Pritam Munde. She said that the party honored her by including her in the candidate list and she is grateful to bjp for this. However, he said that his sister Pritam had done a good job in Beed for 10 years and he was a little sad at the cancellation of her ticket.
'Did not give ticket to my sister but gave it to me'- Pankaja Munde
Pankaja Munde said, 'I was in active politics before, am here also and will remain so in future too. Till now I was looking after the work of the organization because it could not win the 2019 elections. Now my name is also included in this Bir bjp candidate list. I am grateful to bjp for giving me this honour. My feelings are mixed, because my sister (Pritam Munde) was doing very good work as an mp for 10 years. She was ahead in every survey and this was also the wish of the people. But, now instead of giving him the ticket, the party has given it to me. So there will be some sadness, it is natural.
Pankaja Munde has good hold in Marathwada region
Pankaja Munde is a big OBC data-face in Maharashtra. And holds a good hold in the Vanjari community. In the eyes of bjp leadership, Pankaja Munde has the ability to garner support from the OBC community. At the same time, he can have influence not only in Beed but also on seven more lok sabha seats of Marathwada.
