Pimpri-Chichwad corporator and NCP leader Datta Sane, who unmasked several civic scams and was at the forefront of highlighting public issues, succumbed to coronavirus disease (Covid-19) on Saturday morning. In recent years, Sane had emerged as a strong voice from the NCP, the main opposition party in the Pimpri-Chinchwad Municipal Corporation (PCMC). Does it make sense to waste the taxpayer’s hard-earned money ?”Sane was the first opposition leader to launch the “opposition leader at your doorstep” drive. In Bhosari constituency, Sane was touted as the only NCP leader capable of taking on the challenge of BJP MLA Mahesh Landge. But, on NCP leader Ajit Pawar’s request, he withdrew from the race.
