Dynasty Dominates Pimpri Chinchwad Polls: Leaders' Kin Flood Candidate List

• Pimpri Chinchwad Municipal Corporation elections are seeing widespread dynastic politics.
• Leaders from BJP, Shiv Sena, and NCP are prioritizing relatives over dedicated party workers for candidacies.
• Prominent examples include Jaideep Khapre (son of BJP MLA Umatai Khapre) and Vishwajit Barne (son of Shiv Sena MP Shrirang Barne).
• Siddharth Bansode (son of NCP MLA Anna Bansode), Anuradha Gorkhe (wife of MLA Amit Gorkhe), and others are also in the fray.
• This trend leaves long-serving party workers neglected, despite their contributions.

Why It Matters: Pimpri Chinchwad elections are marred by dynastic politics, sidelining dedicated party workers.
