Beed (Maharashtra), Dec 12 (IANS) Categorically stating that she would not quit the Bharatiya Janata Party, Maharashtra leader and former minister Pankaja Munde on Thursday dared the BJP leadership to sack her.
In a show of strength by her supporters to mark the 70th birth anniversary of her father and late Union minister Gopinath Munde - who died five years ago, Pankaja threw the gauntlet at her detractors and the party leadership alike at Gopinathgad, here in her home district.
"Loss of one election does not bother me. Circumstances are being created that I should quit. But I am not going to leave the party. However, if the party wants to 'leave' me, it can take a decision," she thundered in the presence of several top BJP leaders including state President Chandrakant Patil.
