Parli: Leader of opposition in the Legislative Council, Dhananjay Munde, fighting cousins Pankaja Munde in Parli constituency, says he has logic to show how the BJP-Shiv Sena combine will be decimated in this election. Munde harps on the rebellion currently being faced by the ruling parties, which will ultimately "end Sena's dream of Ab Ki Baar, 220 Paar". Taking aim at Pankaja, he also says that he was Gopinath Munde's shadow and knows of his dreams better than Pankaja.

Excerpts from an interview:

Parli is a much-talked-about seat across the country as two cousins are facing off. How do you see the contest with Pankaja Munde?
I am not fighting anyone. I am contesting this election because I have some dreams for this constituency. I will work hard and ensure that everyone, right from farmers, workers, small retailers, and small to big businessmen will see their incomes double in five years. I am not saying this just for the sake of it, I have a blueprint ready.
