- Avinash Bagwe reaffirmed his loyalty to the Congress party, emphasizing that they are committed to seeking a ticket only through the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) coalition. They are hopeful for an announcement by tonight or tomorrow and are open to contesting as independents if necessary.
- The BJP has announced candidates for several constituencies in Pune but has yet to finalize candidates for Khadakwasla, Pune Cantonment, and Kasba Peth. Internal surveys for the Pune Cantonment seat have shown unfavorable results for sitting MLA Sunil Kamble, with indications that Congress remains the preferred choice for voters in this constituency.
- Ramesh Bagwe has accused members of both Congress and BJP of spreading rumors to undermine his position. A senior BJP leader, speaking anonymously, expressed concerns about retaining the Pune Cantonment seat and suggested that a candidate change may be necessary. However, the BJP lacks a strong contender and is facing competition from their alliance partner, the Republican Party of India (RPI).
- With official candidate announcements still pending, speculations are rife about the BJP’s and Bagwe’s next moves. Bagwe’s struggle to secure a ticket and the possibility of rebellion could have a significant impact on the upcoming election dynamics in the Pune Cantonment constituency.
