Summary:
The picture, party leaders say, will get clearer as and when the ticket distribution starts. As the time for announcing of candidates draws near, BJP leaders do admit of the jugglery they have to do. Candidates in these areas, according to party leaders, are financially strong and can pose serious challenge to the official candidate. However, party leaders admitted that both in Bhosari and Chinchwad there would be cases of defection of people who have been denied tickets. Party leaders said that while officially just five NCP corporators have resigned from their post and joined the BJP, many more are still in pipeline..
