Munde took the selfies with the dried-up Manjara river as the backdrop while on a visit to the parched region to review desilting work on the river bed.
"Selfie with trench of said barrage (in) Manjara (river).. relief to Latur," she had tweeted.

Pankaja later explained the reason for the tweet stating that it was just the 'satisfaction' and not 'excitement' to see water in trench in dry plains.
