Mumbai (Maharashtra): BJP leader Pankaja Munde on Tuesday refuted the rumours that she was planning to leave the party and said her Facebook post calling her supporters was nothing more than an invite to them for the upcoming birth anniversary celebrations of her late father Gopinath Munde.
"My Facebook post was a call to my supporters for the upcoming birth anniversary of my late father. Some media reports then suggested that I was planning to leave the party which has caused me much grief. I will say nothing more than that, I will talk to my supporters on December 12," Munde told reporters here.

She further said that she had been a dedicated member of the party and wanted to find out who was behind these rumours.
"I am a dedicated member of the party just like my father. I have risen through the ranks based on the work done by me. I have contributed a lot to the party. News reports that I wanted to become the chief minister had also circulated in the past, I want to know who is behind these rumours," Munde said.
"As per some rumours I want to put pressure on the party to gain some post, this is untrue," she added.
Earlier yesterday, Maharashtra BJP chief Chandrakant Patil had also rejected rumours that Pankaja Munde is planning to part ways with the party.
