"We don't see BJP MLC Pankaja Munde here this assembly election. When she was contesting in the Lok Sabha elections, her cousin Dhananjay Munde controlled the entire system and deliberately sidelined BJP workers. They were not taken into consideration. It was a conspiracy to ensure her defeat," the NCP (SP) leader said.

He further alleged that Dhananjay Munde, also the district's guardian minister, did not bring any new industry to the region and closed the existing ones.
