Nationalist Congress Party leader Anil Deshmukh on Tuesday denied that he had ever expressed desire to join the Bharatiya Janata Party.

Maharashtra BJP chief Chandrashekhar Bawankule had claimed earlier that Deshmukh had inquired about whether he could join the BJP before the last assembly polls.

Addressing a press conference in Nagpur, Deshmukh claimed that Bawankule was quoting him out of context and he never wished to join the BJP. -- PTI
