Sack Khurshid for his derogatory remark on Modi: Munde

Aurangabad: Senior BJP leader Gopinath Munde today appealed to Congress president Sonia Gandhi to sack External Affairs Minister Salman Khurshid over his unsavoury remark against BJP's PM nominee Narendra Modi.“This is new low the Congress

Munde said regions of Vidarbha, Marathwada and Khandesh (north Maharashtra) are meted out injustice by the Democratic Front government.

“Even though a Statutory Development Board has been established for giving equal justice (to these regions), the state government has failed to submit its report to Governor on time,” the senior BJP leader said.

He said BJP would demand compensation for farmers in Vidarbha and Marathwada regions whose Rabi crop were damaged in recent hailstorm.

Munde parried a question on the VHP leader Ashok Singhal's controversial statement that Hindus should ‘produce' at least five children.

He reiterated his party's assurance to make the state toll free if the NDA combine is voted to power in the Assembly elections.

“In the NDA regime, there were only nine toll plazas in the state and now their number has gone up to 161,” Munde said.
