Pankaja Munde's battle for redemption in Beed faces a Maratha hurdle
Now contesting from the water-starved constituency of Beed, Pankaja Munde has her work cut out for her. One of the only places in Maharashtra that saw widespread violence during 2023's Maratha quota agitation, the demand for reservation has soured Munde's - an OBC leader - relationship with the locals. This year's general election could be the foundation for Munde's return to the limelight.
