Reports suggest a political maneuver in Pune's upcoming Municipal Corporation polls, with Shiv Sena's Ravindra Dhangekar's son filing nomination from Ward 24. Despite an alliance between BJP and Eknath Shinde's Shiv Sena, the BJP reportedly did not leave seats for Shiv Sena in key wards. Dhangekar allegedly sought an NCP ticket, but Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar reportedly declined after a call from Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis. Dhangekar has a known rivalry with BJP leaders.
