Pimpri: Ward structure was announced for the much-awaited Pimpri-Chinchwad Municipal Corporation general elections. While this ward structure is expectedly friendly to the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP), it is also convenient for the Shiv Sena. However, the ward structure is not at all a relief for the Congress. The political future of many stalwarts of the ruling BJP is in danger as there is a lot of ‘sabotage’ in their current ward. According to experts, the new ward structure will reopen the door of the Municipal Corporation for many former corporators.
The five-year term of the corporators of Pimpri-Chinchwad Municipal Corporation is ending on March 13. Elections are being postponed due to delay in ward formation, third wave of Corona and OBC reservation. Against this background, a draft ward structure deciding the political future of the candidates as well as the incumbent corporators was announced.
