Pune News: Clock or Trumpet? Confusion in NCP's Pune Alliance

Pune News: There seems to be a major upheaval in Pune's politics currently. While discussions about both Nationalist Congress Parties coming together are ongoing, indications are that it has been disrupted. It is understood that the potential alliance in Pune has almost broken, with sources indicating that the dispute over the election symbol is the cause.

There was talk that the Ajit Pawar group and the Sharad Pawar group would contest the elections together for the past few days. There was a favorable atmosphere at the level of senior leaders, and meetings were also held between leaders of both sides. However, this discussion has stopped due to a lack of consensus on which symbol the candidates will contest the election.

It is said that the Ajit Pawar group insisted on the 'clock' symbol for all candidates in Pune. On the other hand, the Sharad Pawar group took a firm stand on the 'trumpet' symbol for their candidates. This increased differences between the two groups and reduced the possibility of an alliance.

After this development, it seems that the Sharad Pawar faction has taken a different direction. There is talk that they have started preparing to contest elections through the Maha Vikas Aghadi. In this context, an urgent meeting was held in Pune. Local leaders of the Nationalist Congress Party (Sharad Pawar faction), Shiv Sena (Uddhav Thackeray faction), and Congress were present at this meeting. Due to all these developments, the political equations in Pune are changing, and everyone is focused on who will align with whom in the upcoming elections.
