'Better Late Than Never': Pankaja Munde On Cousin Dhananjay Munde's Resignation

Maharashtra Minister Pankaja Munde on Tuesday said her cousin and NCP leader Dhananjay Munde should have resigned earlier and found a dignified way out of the situation that arose after the murder of sarpanch Santosh Deshmukh.

Speaking to reporters in Nagpur, Pankaja Munde, expressed her views following Dhananjay Munde’s resignation from the Maharashtra state cabinet.

“I welcome the resignation. He (Dhananjay Munde) should have resigned earlier, it would have been better that way. He would have found a dignified way out of all this suffering," Pankaja Munde remarked.

When asked about the statement made by her cousin, Pankaja mentioned that she was unaware of it, and further added that no one wishes for their family member to go through such distress.

“When we take up a post, we should think of every person in the state as equal. The decision to resign is nothing compared to the pain and suffering of the Deshmukh family. Better late than never," she concluded.
