Prashant Jagtap joined the Indian National Congress in Pune, visiting the party's Bhavan and expressing a sense of responsibility. He recalled Mahatma Gandhi's vision for the building as a place for true servants of the people. Jagtap stated his commitment to working with Congress leaders and contributing to future progressive movements. He recently left the NCP-SP due to disagreements over alliances and reportedly received calls from both Shiv Sena factions before joining Congress.
