Citing alleged injustice and bias against them over the distribution of budgetary funds by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC), opposition leaders have approached the court.

In March this year, the BJP, which secured the highest majority along with the Republican Party of India (RPI), rules the PMC. On May 11, the PMC standing committee's chairperson, BJP's Murlidhar Mohol, presented the budgetary allocation for Rs 5,912 crore for approval during the general body meeting. Opposing NCP members, who are current corporators, found that BJP corporators were getting Rs 4 to Rs 5 crore each in the respective wards under the name of infrastructure development. However, in other areas where BJP had lost, only Rs 2-3 cr has been allegedly allocated.
