The Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) election office rejected 131 nomination forms due to incomplete documents and procedural lapses during scrutiny for the civic polls. While most rejections were minor, the process impacted the BJP and Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena in Pimpri-Chinchwad Municipal Corporation (PCMC), with several candidates forced to run as independents. Objections were raised and hearings conducted before final decisions were made, with similar scrutiny issues reported across civic bodies.
