The Hindu
She chalks out her own programme to corner State govt. on reservation, COVID-19
On his seventh death anniversary, former Union Minister late Gopinath Munde has become a rallying point for the BJP in Maharashtra to restrategise itself around the sensitive issues of Maratha reservation and political reservation for the OBCs in local civic bodies, which were scrapped by the Supreme Court in its verdicts in two different cases. However, his daughter and former State Women and Child Welfare Minister Pankaja Munde-Palve, in an address to her followers on Thursday in Beed district, chose to give the cold shoulder to the leadership by announcing her decision to reach out to every village to connect with people individually on the two issues and the State government’s mis-management in handling COVID issues. She even appealed to people to send as many postal letters to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s office as possible highlighting the reservation issues. “Send so many letters that Prime Minister would mention that in his next Mann ki Baat,” she said.More Related News
