Ravi Landge
Dynamic leader from Pimpri-Chinchwad, Maharashtra, Ravi Landge has risen as a prominent political figure with deep roots in local governance. A former BJP corporator and standing committee chairman in the Pimpri Chinchwad Municipal Corporation (PCMC), he was elected unopposed in 2017, showcasing strong community support from a family legacy spanning over 40 years in BJP politics—his father Babasaheb and uncle Ankushrao were key figures until the latter’s tragic death in 2006 due to political rivalry.���In 2022, disillusioned by rising corruption and power misuse in Bhosari under MLA Mahesh Landge, Ravi resigned from BJP, criticizing deviations from the party’s ideology. He made headlines in August 2024 by joining Shiv Sena (UBT) in the presence of Uddhav Thackeray, positioning himself as a contender for the Bhosari Assembly seat with promises of a youthful face for the Maha Vikas Aghadi alliance.���By early 2026, Ravi secured another milestone as BJP’s unopposed mayoral pick for PCMC amid high drama, announced by state president Ravindra Chavan—marking a potential reconciliation or strategic shift. Known for his loyalty, anti-corruption stance, and focus on civic issues like roads and development, Ravi embodies resilient leadership in Pune’s industrial hub, blending family legacy with bold political moves to serve Pimpri-Chinchwad’s growth
