PMC Elections 2026: BJP Outlines Development Roadmap for Viman Nagar–Lohgaon, Kharadi–Wagholi
Pune, 7th January 2026: A public ‘Sankalp Sabha’ organised at Chandan Nagar ahead of the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) general elections proved to be a significant morale booster for the BJP–RPI Mahayuti candidates from Ward Nos. 03 and 04, party leaders said on Tuesday.
The meeting was held in the run-up to the PMC polls and was attended by Maharashtra Revenue Minister Chandrashekhar Bawankule as the chief guest. The event focused on presenting a comprehensive development roadmap for Ward No. 03 (Viman Nagar–Lohgaon) and Ward No. 04 (Kharadi–Wagholi), with an emphasis on planned, transparent and long-term civic development.
The candidates from Ward no. 3 included Aishwarya Surendra Pathare, Shreyas Pritam Khandve, Anil Dilip Satav and Ramdas Dattatray Dabhade. From Ward no. 4, candidates Surendra Bappusaheb Pathare, Sheljit Jaywant Bansode, Ratanmala Sandip Satav and Trupti Santosh Bharne.
During the interaction, candidates and party leaders engaged directly with citizens, discussing issues related to urban infrastructure, governance and future planning. Residents shared their expectations and concerns, while leaders outlined how coordinated and accountable administration could help address local challenges in the rapidly growing eastern parts of Pune.
Addressing the gathering, party representatives said the strong turnout and public support reflected growing trust in the BJP–RPI Mahayuti candidates. They said understanding citizens’ expectations and delivering on those commitments would remain a key responsibility for all candidates contesting from the two wards.
Leaders also acknowledged the guidance provided by Revenue Minister Chandrashekhar Bawankule, stating that his experience and direction would play an important role in shaping the development agenda for both wards in the coming years.
The event was attended by BJP general secretary Rajesh Pande, former MLA Jagdish Mulik, BJP Pune (North) district president Pradeep Kand, former corporators, office-bearers of the BJP–RPI Mahayuti, party workers and a large number of local residents.
Party leaders said the resolve for development was clear and that the candidates from Ward Nos. 03 and 04 would work collectively and with determination to translate these commitments into action if elected.
