(Rohit Pawar) All political parties have started preparing in the backdrop of the upcoming elections. The announcement of elections for 29 municipal corporations in the state, including Mumbai and Pune, has been made. Voting for the municipal elections will take place on January 15, 2026, and the counting will be on January 16, 2026, with elections for 2869 seats.
During the period from December 23 to December 30, candidates can file their nomination papers for the municipal elections, and on December 31, the scrutiny of candidates' papers will take place. Candidates can withdraw their papers until January 2, 2026. The allocation of symbols will occur on January 3, and voting will take place on January 15, 2026. After the announcement of the elections, reactions are coming from the political circles.
Against this backdrop, Rohit Pawar tweeted a response. Rohit Pawar tweeted, 'In fact, the Election Commission does not wait for anyone; it is an autonomous body. However, observing yesterday's sequence of events, it seemed that the Election Commission was waiting for something. Yesterday, ruling party leaders conducted many inaugurations and made several new announcements to influence voters, and after all this, the Election Commission held a press conference to announce the elections. Is that what we are supposed to say?'
'After observing all these events, it becomes clear who is working for whom and who is listening to whom. Despite such suppression of democracy, we are fighting to save democracy even after many actions, but the common people are questioning whether true democracy will survive due to such autocracy,' said Rohit Pawar.
