The upcoming Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) polls are seeing candidates with alleged criminal records or their relatives entering the electoral fray. Political parties are reportedly prioritizing winning ability over the past records of individuals. Notable entries include Jayashree Marne, wife of gangster Gajanan Marne, who has filed nomination from ward 10, having previously won on an MNS ticket. This trend suggests an attempt to leverage political influence to counter allegations and maintain local influence.
