Chaos erupted during the scrutiny of nomination papers for the Pimpri-Chinchwad polls, specifically concerning category changes for two candidates from the NCP and BJP in Ward No. 2. Opposing candidates alleged unfair administration and deletion of video footage, questioning the increase of party authorization forms after the deadline. They demanded the disqualification of a former BJP Mayor's candidacy. NCP workers staged a protest, accusing the BJP of misusing election machinery.
