Pimpri-Chinchwad NCP Delegation Proposes Yogesh Behl for MLC Candidacy

A delegation from Pimpri-Chinchwad's Nationalist Congress Party (NCP), including current and former corporators and party workers, met Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Sunetra Pawar and Rajya Sabha MP Parth Pawar to recommend Yogesh Behl as the NCP candidate for the upcoming Maharashtra Legislative Council elections. Behl, a seven-term corporator and former mayor, is recognized for his grassroots work and long association with senior leader Ajit Pawar. The delegation emphasized that Pimpri-Chinchwad lacks Legislative Council representation and argued that Behl's nomination would enhance coordination and development in the city.
