tussle over demand for seats

According to sources, Sharad Pawar faction has clearly demanded 40 to 45 seats.

It was on this point that most of the discussion and brainstorming took place between the two sides.

Senior Pune leaders Subhash Jagtap and Sunil Tingre attended this meeting on behalf of Ajit Pawar faction. On the other hand, Vishal Tambe and Ankush Kakde from Sharad Pawar faction were present.

In Maharashtra, elections for all 29 municipal corporations and 25 municipal corporations including Mumbai (BMC) have been announced. The State Election Commission has informed that voting will be held on January 15 and results will be announced on January 16. Along with this, a big stir is also being seen in the ruling Mahayuti. Mahayuti’s fight among itself has now clearly come to the fore. Now there will be a ‘friendly fight’ between Devendra Fadnavis and Ajit Pawar to install their mayor in Pune.

There will also be an alliance of BJP-NCP and Shiv Sena at some places. Devendra Fadnavis said, “I have talked to Ajit Dada regarding Pune Corporation. We both are big parties. BJP has made good development in Pune in the last 5 years. So in Pune, BJP can compete with NCP (Ajit Pawar). If this happens, it will be a friendly fight. There will be no bitterness among the allies.

All political parties in action regarding BMC elections

Apart from Pune, the political picture before the mayor elections in Mumbai is also interesting. These elections are pending since 2022.
