Political Shifts and Election Claims in Pune
In Pune, a BJP leader named Shankar Jagtap said his party will win almost all the seats in the upcoming local elections.
Another leader from the NCP, Yogesh Behl, laughed at this claim and said if it happens, he will leave politics.
The BJP thinks adding new leaders will help them win, but the NCP believes people will support them because of their past work.
Both parties are trying to show they are stronger than the other.
BJP's Shankar Jagtap claims the party will win 125 out of 128 seats in the PCMC polls.
NCP's Yogesh Behl mocks the BJP's claim, offering to quit politics if it comes true.
BJP attributes its confidence to organizational efforts and recent inclusions of leaders from other parties.
NCP believes citizens will support them due to Ajit Pawar's past contributions.
Controversial inclusion of Rahul Kalate from NCP-SP to BJP causes tension among BJP loyalists.
