During a preparatory meeting for the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) at the Pune District Collectorate, major political parties including the Shiv Sena, Shiv Sena (UBT), and the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) were notably absent. The meeting, led by District Collector and election officer Jitendra Dudi, aimed to prepare for the SIR set to commence in Maharashtra this month. Despite invitations sent to all parties, leaders from the absent parties claimed they were unaware of the meeting. In contrast, representatives from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), NCP (Sharad Pawar), Nationalist People's Party (NPP), and ISLAM party attended. Congress leader Rahul Sharma mentioned he arrived late due to heavy rains but emphasized that the party is actively preparing for the SIR with daily meetings and selected representatives. The lack of attendance from major parties has raised concerns about their commitment to the electoral process, especially as the election officer noted that only BJP members consistently attend these meetings.
