Ahead of BMC elections, leaders should work unitedly for party and people, failing which, party must pull up "habitual saboteurs and non-team players", Deora tweeted.
"I don't wish to name people at this point. I spoke generally and (it) applies to every state and district, including my own," he told PTI, when asked who he was referring to.
"We all may have concerns but leaders should not forget that we have crucial elections in five states and several municipalities to fight and win," he said.
