The Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) former minister, Pankaja Munde, said it does not approve any concept such as ‘Team Narendra or Team Devendra,’ because the party puts the country and itself above individuals. She was reacting to rumours that the Munde family was upset because her sister, MP Dr Pritam, wasn’t picked up in the Cabinet expansion.

“We accept every decision of the party,” she said in Mumbai on Friday. “The BJP has a certain method of decision making. Like many others Dr Pritam’s name was also in circulation. But let me tell you we haven’t lobbied for a minister’s post. The party must have included new faces because of their usefulness,” she said while wishing the Prime Minister’s new team the best.
