In a war of words between the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Ajit Pawar-led Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) ahead of the election to the municipal corporations of Pune and Pimpri Chinchwad, state BJP chief Ravindra Chavan on Saturday hit back at the Maharashtra deputy chief minister for making corruption allegations against the BJP.
“Ajit Pawar should clarify whether he is making allegations against the Narendra Modi-led Central Government or the Devendra Fadnavis-led State Government. Moreover, it needs to be seen that allegations are made in the backdrop of ongoing civic elections. If Pawar was serious, then he should have approached a government agency to investigate the corruption charges, said Chavan.

Chavan warned that the NCP would be in trouble if his party started levelling corruption allegations and asked Pawar to think before making such allegations.
“The BJP is contesting the election, highlighting its agenda for the development of the city. The BJP is in power in the state and the Centre. So the voters should elect the party to power in Pune for continuing the rapid development of the city,” he said.
Chavan also dismissed Shiv Sena (UBT)’s charges that BJP candidates were winning unopposed in various civic bodies across the state by using money power. “For example, in Kalyan Dombivli, the BJP and Shiv Sena were the main rivals but are now contesting in alliance, so no strong opponent now.”
