The Shivajinagar-Ghole Road and Aundh-Baner wards in Pune are experiencing intense political activity, marked by internal party changes and defections. While the BJP has consolidated its presence in Shivajinagar-Ghole Road, fielding new candidates, the opposition is fragmented with Congress and NCP factions contesting separately. Local issues like traffic, redevelopment, and infrastructure delays are central to the campaigns in both wards, with civic activists highlighting project delays and inter-agency coordination issues.
