Why would Pankaja Munde swap bungalows for ‘jinxed’ Ramtek?

Hindustan Times  

MUMBAI: Ramtek, the sprawling, sea-facing bungalow on Narayan Dabholkar Road in Mumbai’s posh Malabar Hill, has a bit of a reputation for being unlucky for its high-profile ministerial residents. So why would Pankaja Munde, Maharashtra’s environment minister, swap her newly allotted official accommodation, Chitrakut, for Ramtek? In 1999, Ramtek’s new occupant was then deputy chief minister Chhagan Bhujbal in the Congress-NCP government. Pankaja, daughter of Gopinath Munde, has fond memories of the five years she spent in Ramtek as a child, when her father occupied it as deputy chief minister. The state’s other deputy chief minister Ajit Pawar will continue to live in Devgiri, a bungalow adjacent to Ramtek.
