Gopinath Munde Wanted To Join Congress? Prithviraj Chavan's Claim Sparks Row
Former Maharashtra Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan has sparked a political controversy with his claim that late BJP leader Gopinath Munde had once considered joining the Congress. Chavan said the proposal had received Sonia Gandhi's approval but was opposed by then Prime Minister Manmohan Singh. Munde's daughter, Maharashtra Minister Pankaja Munde, rejected the remarks as irrelevant and inappropriate, stressing that her father was a BJP leader by conviction.
