NCP Factions Unite for Pimpri Chinchwad Polls
Two groups in the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP), led by Ajit Pawar and Sharad Pawar, have decided to work together for the upcoming Pimpri Chinchwad city elections.
This is a big deal because they had a big fight and split up a few years ago.
Ajit Pawar said they will announce who will run for which seats soon.
Meanwhile, Ajit Pawar also criticized the BJP, saying they are being corrupt and threatening other politicians to join them.
He asked people to vote for the NCP's 'Clock' symbol.
The elections are on January 15, 2026, and the counting of votes will happen the next day.
NCP (SP) and NCP have decided to contest the Pimpri-Chinchwad municipal elections together, marking a reunion after a bitter feud.
Ajit Pawar announced the alliance during a rally in Pimpri Chinchwad, stating that seat-sharing details will be announced soon.
Ajit Pawar criticized the BJP-led administration for corruption and creating a 'terror atmosphere' through threats and hooliganism.
Elections for 29 civic corporations in Maharashtra, including Pimpri Chinchwad, are scheduled for January 15, 2026, with vote counting on January 16, 2026.
NCP (SP) city unit president Prashant Jagtap resigned and joined Congress, citing ideological differences.
