"I pity Chhagan Bhujbal. He lacks the courage to leave NCP. Why doesn't he resign if he considers himself a fighter?" Kande asked while speaking to a news channel.

He said Bhujbal is not the sole representative of the OBC community. "Not giving him a ministerial post doesn't mean OBCs are not considered," the Nandgaon MLA added.
