The BJP withdrew Pooja More-Jadhav's nomination for the Pune civic polls after old videos resurfaced showing her making critical remarks about Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and his wife during the Maratha quota stir. The decision followed backlash from party workers. More-Jadhav stated she is a victim of social media trolls and misinformation, claiming the remarks were misattributed to her. She reiterated her commitment to the BJP and Hindutva.
