=== Hunger Strike Against [[Pune Municipal Corporation|PMC]] ===
Sunil Tingre launched a hunger strike on April 6, 2023, to protest the inaction of the [[Pune Municipal Corporation]] to take up basic civic infrastructure work in his constituency i.e. [[Vadgaon Sheri Assembly constituency]]. The PMC was ruled by the [[Bharatiya Janata Party]]{{Snd}}which is opposed to Sunil Tingre's [[Nationalist Congress Party]]{{Snd}}in the previous five-year term that ended in 2022 and was governed by an administrator appointed by the state government at the time of the protest.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2023-04-06 |title=NCP MLA Sunil Tingre launches hunger strike against PMC 'inaction' in Vadgaonsheri |url=https://indianexpress.com/article/cities/pune/ncp-mla-sunil-tingre-hunger-strike-pmc-inaction-vadgaonsheri-8541482/ |access-date=2023-04-24 |website=The Indian Express |language=en}}</ref>

The issues raised by Tingre included traffic congestion on Ahmednagar and Porwal roads, blocked roads, a blocked flyover at [[Kharadi]] and water problems in Shastri Nagar, Vishrantwadi and Lohegaon. He alleged that the PMC was not addressing these issues in a sufficient manner. To protest, he started a hunger strike in front of the municipal building on the morning of April 6.

Tingre was supported by several prominent local leaders like [[Hadapsar Assembly constituency|Hadapsar]] MLA Chetan Tupe, [[Nationalist Congress Party|NCP]] city president Prashant Jagtap, former [[List of mayors of Pune|Mayor]] [[Dattatray Dhankawade]] and others. In addition, many local citizens of the constituency were also present for the event.

After discussing the issues with Sunil Tingre and the delegation, Additional Municipal Commissioner Vikas Dhakne assured them that the municipal administration is positive about solving the issues raised by Tingre. The administration also gave a written statement regarding the timeframe in which the issues will be resolved. Finally, after receiving the written assurance, Tingre ended his fast.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Dolare |first=Rahul |date=2023-04-07 |title=Pune: MLA Sunil Tingre Calls Off Fast After Receiving Written Assurance On Pending Issues In Vadgaonsheri Constituency |url=https://www.punekarnews.in/pune-mla-sunil-tingre-calls-off-fast-after-receiving-written-assurance-on-pending-issues-in-vadgaonsheri-constituency/ |access-date=2023-04-24 |website=Punekar News |language=en-US}}</ref>
