Maharashtra BJP President Ravindra Chavan expressed regret over including Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar in their alliance, stating he had previously advised Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis to reconsider. Chavan's remarks came during a campaign event for local elections in Pimpri-Chinchwad, where he also alleged Pawar was following a script with false narratives. This statement follows Pawar's criticism of the BJP's previous administration in the Pimpri-Chinchwad Municipal Corporation.
