The issue of change in PCMC office-bearers was discussed by Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis with the local BJP leadership in the city on Monday. Chinchwad MLA Laxman Jagtap and Bhosari MLA Mahesh Landge command the loyalty of a large number of the ruling party’s corporators and their supporters will be considered for the vacant posts.

Meanwhile, Pimpri Chinchwad OBC Sangharsha Samiti and Bara Balutedar Mahasangh have alleged that the BJP has been meting out injustice to real OBCs while selecting civic office-bearers. At a press conference here, the leaders objected to the ruling party selecting Kunbi caste persons for the OBC category posts. Pratap Gurav, Pradeep Pawar, Vishal Jadhav and Ananda Kudale were also present.
Outgoing mayor Kalje had submitted a Kunbi caste certificate to the election authorities and his caste document has been challenged in court by Ghanshyam Khedkar. Shatrugha Kate is a contender for the mayoral post and his election has also been challenged in the court by one Kailas Kunjir.
