The NCP has always done justice to the common man, Munde said, adding that the ideology of Rajkishore Modi and his colleagues, who have just joined the party, is identical.

Munde further appealed that they should work together for the betterment of the party in the district, without letting any injustice happen to old workers who have stayed with the party during bad times.
