Barne and supporters join Shiv Sena
The entry of Barne and the others into the Shiv Sena is expected to strengthen the party in the Pimpri-Chinchwad township. Barne refused to comment on whether a commitment had been given by the Shiv Sena leadership to nominate him as the party candidate for the assembly elections from the newly-formed Chinchwad constituency.
IMO: Seems interesting if you follow politics.
Also in Pune, the abrupt end to Pune pattern seems to have boosted the morale of corporators who have been eyeing the State assembly polls. According to one estimate, as many as three dozen corporators are preparing to enter the assembly poll fray. The alliance of convenience forged two and a half years ago among the NCP, Shiv Sena and the BJP in the Pune Municipal Corporation had come to an end on Tuesday.
BJP spokesperson Ujjwal Keskar said the parting of ways would end the confusion among the general public. “The citizens preferred the MNS over the BJP during the Lok Sabha polls, which helped the Congress retain the Pune seat.” It was high time that the alliance was brought to an end, he said.
