The Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) factions led by Ajit Pawar and Sharad Pawar have released a joint manifesto for the upcoming Pune and Pimpri-Chinchwad civic body elections. The manifesto promises daily water supply, free Metro and bus services, and waiving property tax for smaller homes. Both factions, despite being in different state alliances, have united for these local elections, focusing on civic issues like traffic, healthcare, and development, while criticizing the previous BJP administration's performance.
