Congress Leader Claims Gopinath Munde Was Considering Joining Party

Maharashtra Congress leader Prithviraj Chavan has claimed that late BJP leader Gopinath Munde was once exploring the possibility of joining Congress. The political slugfest over his statement is now on. Prithviraj Chavan's statement has also been criticised by Gopinath Munde's daughter. Meanwhile, Congress leader Hussain Dalwai has reacted. He said, "Absolutely right. It is like everything was fixed for him to come. For this, he was going to meet Sonia Gandhi, but in the meantime, Ahmed Patel called him and said that first resign, then join. So he could not come. I think Congress made a mistake at that time. Prithviraj Chavan's statement is absolutely right. The same was for Eknath Shinde. Eknath Shinde also wanted to come to Congress but some Congress leaders did not allow him to come. Pankaja Munde, a minister in the Maharashtra government, has strongly rejected Congress leader and former Maharashtra Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan's claim about her father Gopinath Munde. Pankaja's father (Kamal Chavan) said that her father (Kamal) was born at this time and rejected Kamal's statement.
