The editorial
Source: The Hindustan Times · 3 Nov 2024Growing discontent among Congress leaders in Pune has reached a boiling point, resulting in three prominent figures - Aba Bagul, Kamal Vyavhare, and Manish Anand - deciding to contest as independent candidates in the upcoming assembly elections. This rebellion stems from grievances over ticket allocations amidst the ongoing seat-sharing negotiations within the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) alliance.
Aba Bagul, a seasoned politician with 40 years of experience as a Pune Municipal Corporation councillor, will contest from the Parvati Assembly seat. Kamal Vyavhare, the city’s first woman mayor, aims for the Kasba Assembly constituency, while Anand will run for the Shivaji Nagar seat. Notably, these constituencies were initially assigned to Congress candidates—Ravindra Dhangekar and Datta Bahirat—while the Parvati seat went to NCP's Ashwini Kadam.
