Munde was addressing a Dussehra rally in Sawargaon Ghat here. 

The former MLA said she would continue to fight for the rights of sugarcane labourers and would be meeting them from December 12 after completing tours of Delhi, Pune, Navi Mumbai and Nashik. 

''I will not wear a turban or accept garlands until the OBC and Maratha quota issues is solved. I shall continue to raise my voice for labourers involved in sugarcane cutting. I had asked the government to give them aid before Dussehra and it has happened,'' she said.
