With many office-bearers of BJP from Beed district in Maharashtra resigning in protest against local MP Pritam Munde not finding a place in the newly-reshuffled Union cabinet, her sister and BJP national secretary Pankaja Munde on Tuesday dismissed reports that she was using any "pressure tactics" even as she hailed Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union home minister Amit Shah and BJP president J P Nadda as her leaders.

Addressing BJP workers who came to Mumbai from Munde's home turf Beed and other parts of the state, Pankaja invoked the epic Mahabharata saying the time is not ripe for a "dharmayudha" and gave reference of the righteous demands made by the Pandavas and how they were rejected by the Kauravas.
