Decision to replace some MPs taken after due diligence: Munde
The decision to replace sitting MPs from Maharashtra has been taken after due diligence by the state leadership, senior BJP leader Panjaka Munde said Saturday.
Addressing reporters here, she said candidates were chosen on the basis of several parameters like their work and people's support and trust.
"The only aim is that we should get maximum number of MPs from Maharashtra," she said.
Queried on leaders being inducted into the BJP from other parties, she said their entry depended on the work done by them and their families in the area as well as their acceptance of the party's ideology.
Munde took a swipe at the opposition by stating that their getting together clearly indicated they were no match to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and that they had accepted defeat.
Listing out various initiatives taken by her department in the last four-and-half years, the state Rural Development minister said 7.164 kilometres of road works had been completed under the Mukhya Mantri Gram
