Seat 2:Anita Sandeep Kate of the BJP is up against Sheetal Nana Kate from the NCP. The contest highlights social outreach and community work, with both candidates having strong engagement among local residents and women’s groups.
Seat 3:Kunda Bhise from the BJP faces Meenakshi Anil Kate of the NCP. This seat sees a contest between two familiar social figures, with healthcare and grassroots work expected to feature prominently in the campaign.
Seat 4:Sandesh Kate of the BJP will compete against Vitthal (Nana) Kate from the NCP. Party organisation and local networks are likely to play a decisive role in this face-off.
The broader campaign narrative in Ward 28 is shaping around two contrasting themes. The BJP is expected to highlight its development record over the past decade, pointing to projects such as the Linear Garden, road upgrades, and civic infrastructure improvements. On the other hand, the NCP is focusing on unresolved day-to-day issues, including water supply, traffic congestion, and routine maintenance, presenting itself as a more responsive alternative to local concerns.
With all eight candidates enjoying strong name recognition and deep roots in the community, the outcome in Ward 28 is being viewed as a barometer of public sentiment in Pimple Saudagar. A decisive result for the BJP would reinforce its development-driven approach, while gains for the NCP could signal a shift in voter priorities. As polling day draws closer, the contest remains wide open and is expected to be among the most keenly observed in the PCMC elections.
