Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) corporator Shrinath Bhimale is likely to be named as the Standing Committee chairman of the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC).
Earlier, Bhimale and Ganesh Bidkar were contenders for the mayoral post. However, the position was reserved for a woman from the general category, so the saffron party chose Manjusha Nagpure, whereas Bidkar was appointed as the Leader of the House, leaving Bhimale poised to head the Standing Committee.
Bhimale, a senior BJP leader in Pune, was also in the running for the post of party chief in Pune. However, the BJP kept its faith in Dheeraj Ghate, asking him to continue his term. Bhimale was also keen on contesting the Assembly polls from Parvati, but backed out of the contest after intervention from senior leaders.
