The political temperature in Pune soared as Union minister Murlidhar Mohol and former minister Prakash Javadekar cast their votes in the ongoing Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) elections on Thursday.
Mohol slammed Ajit Pawar's Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) for allegedly engaging in negative campaigning. The NCP, in alliance with Sharad Pawar's NCP (SP), contests fiercely against the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), with accusations flying on both sides.
The civic elections cover 165 seats in 41 wards, with Mohol expressing confidence in BJP's performance. The BJP, which governed the Pune and Pimpri Chinchwad municipal bodies from 2017 to 2022, seeks a fresh mandate based on its developmental record.
