Vasant More's Son Suffers Crushing Defeat in Pune Civic Polls; BJP Wins Katraj Stronghold

• Vasant More, a prominent Pune leader, faced a major setback as his son, Rupesh More, lost the Pune Municipal Corporation elections.
• Rupesh More suffered a crushing defeat on his home ground, Ward No. 40 (D), to BJP candidate Ranjana Kundalik Tilekar.
• Ranjana Tilekar secured 25,859 votes, defeating Rupesh More in his debut election.
• The BJP won all four seats in Katraj, traditionally considered Vasant More's stronghold, undermining his political influence.
• Vasant More himself is trailing in his ward, 38 (Hadapsar-Kondhwa Budruk), contesting on a Shiv Sena (UBT) ticket.

Why It Matters: Vasant More's political fortress in Pune has been significantly weakened after his son's defeat and BJP's sweep in Katraj.
