Amidst the Mumbai election frenzy, Ajit Pawar has suffered a big setback. Ajit Pawar’s electoral math has failed in Pimpri Chinchwad and Pune. Therefore, the question is being raised as to what will actually happen now. Top leaders of Ajit Pawar’s group have left the alliance. The atmosphere in the state has become heated due to the local body elections. As the voting date approaches, the campaign is now in full swing. Big leaders of the state are holding meetings across the state. A good crowd of people is seen in the meetings of these leaders. All the parties in the state are struggling hard to win important municipal corporations like Mumbai, Thane, Nashik. Both the municipal corporations of Pune and Pimpri Chinchwad are equally important and the deputy chief minister of the state, Ajit Pawar, has come with great strength. But now Ajit Pawar has suffered the biggest setback. Dada has suffered this severe setback when the campaign has reached its peak. Therefore, the electoral math is about to change in Pune and Pimpri-Chinchwad. Ajit Pawar had allied with the RPI (Kharat) group to woo Dalit voters. But now Ajit Pawar has been given a big shock by RPI (Kharat Group) party chief Sachin Kharat. Sachin Kharat has suddenly withdrawn from the local body elections. He has also announced that he will not support any candidate. Ajit Pawar had given Kharat some seats for Dalit voters in Pune and Pimpri-Chinchwad. But now Kharat himself has withdrawn from the elections, which has created a big dilemma for Ajit. Sachin Kharat has announced his stand through a video. Kharat has said in this video that “I have not got any seat with dignity. Therefore, I am withdrawing from the electoral process of the Municipal Corporation elections which are currently going on in Maharashtra. I do not support any party or any candidate under any circumstances,” Kharat has said in this video. So what will Ajit Pawar do now? This is important to watch.
