Ahead of the 2026 Pimpri-Chinchwad Municipal Corporation (PCMC) general elections, BJP aspirants from the Pimple Saudagar–Rahatani area have set a noteworthy example of party loyalty and organizational discipline. Upholding the principle of “Nation first, then party, and finally self,” the aspirants voluntarily withdrew their nomination forms and announced their full support for the party’s official candidates.

From Ward No. 28, Nirmalataai Kute, Jayanathji Narayan Kate, Kailasji Pradhan Kunjir, Supriyatai Rajesh Patil, and Rinaji Dinesh Kate had filed nominations as aspirants. However, respecting the party’s official decision, all of them withdrew their forms and committed themselves to actively campaigning for the BJP’s authorized panel.

This decision has helped prevent vote division in the ward and further strengthened organizational unity within the BJP. Expressing his gratitude, BJP’s official candidate and City President Shatrughan Kate thanked the loyal aspirants and expressed confidence that this unity would help achieve all-round development of the ward.

In Ward No. 28, Shatrughan Kate, Anita Kate, Kunda Bhise, and Sandesh Kate are the BJP’s official candidates. With the strong backing of the aspirants, BJP’s position in the electoral contest has become even more robust. Emphasizing party discipline, organizational strength, and a clear development agenda, the BJP has reiterated its determination to successfully accomplish Mission PCMC.
