Munde: Rahul must prove innocence first

Muzaffarnagar: Rahul Mahajan will have to fight the legal battle in his drug abuse case and prove his innocence before he is admitted to the Bharatiya Janata Party, his uncle and party leader Gopinath Munde has said.

There were various opinions within the BJP about admitting Rahul, Mr. Munde told reporters here on Sunday. Admitting that Rahul expressed an interest in joining the BJP after the murder of his father Pramod Mahajan, Mr. Munde said the situation changed with his arrest for alleged drug abuse. "He is innocent and will fight it out legally to prove himself innocent."

Replying to a query, Mr. Munde said the statement to the police by Pramod Mahajan's brother Pravin has no relevance, as he was the "murderer." Mr. Munde said internal differences in the Shiv Sena would not affect the BJP in Maharashtra. — PTI
