Maharashtra Deputy CM Ajit Pawar alleged that the Pimpri-Chinchwad Municipal Corporation (PCMC) is "corruption-ridden" and "neck-deep in debt" under BJP's rule. Maharashtra BJP President Ravindra Chavan slammed Ajit, stating it would create serious difficulties for him if BJP starts making allegations against him, asking him to "introspect". Notably, Ajit's NCP and BJP are allies in Maharashtra.
