As a result, many aspiring candidates have begun their own preparations and may be ready to contest as independents or rebel candidates, defying their party or alliance. Top leaders of various parties are aware that deciding the final candidate list too much in advance would give enough time and scope for the rebels to prepare for their own campaign.
In Pune district's rural areas, a cold war is brewing between Deputy CM Ajit Pawar and BJP leader Harshavardhan Patil, who crossed over from Congress to the BJP some years ago. Patil seems uncertain about whether he will be given candidature as the NCP wants to continue with sitting MLA Dattatray Bharane, who is Ajit Pawar's supporter. Harshavardhan has started preparations and told his supporters that he is going to contest in any case, whether he gets a BJP ticket or not.
