Pune: Former BJP Corporator Tushar Kamthe Joins NCP Ahead of Chinchwad By-Election
Pimpri Chinchwad, 18th February 2023: The recent by-election in Chinchwad has dealt a significant blow to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), with former corporator Tushar Kamthe resigning from the party and joining the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP). This move has strengthened the NCP’s position in the upcoming election.
Kamthe, who had previously resigned from his position as a corporator due to his opposition to corruption, had been critical of the BJP during the Chinchwad by-election campaign. His departure from the party has caused a stir in political circles, with some speculating on the reasons behind his decision.
Kamthe has assured his supporters that their faith in him will not be broken. His defection is likely to have a significant impact on the election, as he has a large following in the Pimple Nilakh ward.
The delay in the incoming and outgoing party elections in Pimpri-Chinchwad has caused a lull in the political activity in the area, but the recent developments in Kasba and Chinchwad assembly constituencies have sparked renewed interest in the upcoming assembly by-elections.
Overall, the BJP’s loss of Kamthe is a significant setback for the party, and may result in a shift in the balance of power in the region. The NCP, on the other hand, is likely to benefit from Kamthe’s support and his influence in the Pimple Nilakh ward. The by-election is shaping up to be a closely contested battle, and the outcome may have far-reaching implications for the local political landscape.
