Pankaja Munde in Facebook post: Need to think, chart the way ahead

MUMBAI: A Facebook post by BJP leader Pankaja Munde, daughter of former state deputy chief minister Gopinath Munde who died in a car accident in 2014, has fuelled speculation about her next political move.

In the post, Munde said she would speak to supporters on December 12, the birth anniversary of her father, regarding the future political journey.

“Looking at the changed political scenario in the state, the change in the responsibilities (given to me). Considering all the changing circumstances, there is a need to think and chart the way ahead. I need some time — 8 to 10 days — to communicate with myself. Our future journey has to be decided in the backdrop of these political changes,” she wrote in the Facebook post.


Munde is believed to have cordial relations with Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray, and the post has added to speculation that she may quit the party. BJP leaders are not taking the Facebook post lightly and are trying to find out what her next move could be.
