The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena will contest the Pune Municipal Corporation elections separately after alliance talks failed. The BJP reportedly offered 15 seats to Shiv Sena, which demanded more, leading to the breakdown. While an alliance exists elsewhere, it did not materialize in Pune due to disagreements over specific constituencies. The Nationalist Congress Party-Ajit Pawar faction may potentially support Shiv Sena candidates in some areas.
