Ajit, Sharad Pawar's parties unite for Pune civic polls after Pimpri-Chinchwad

The Ajit Pawar and Sharad Pawar factions of the Nationalist Congress Party will contest the Pune and Pimpri-Chinchwad civic polls together. This alliance was decided after discussions with party workers. Both factions will use their own election symbols. The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation elections will see the NCP contesting independently.
