AAP to contest all local elections independently in Pune

Against this backdrop, today, AAP state spokesperson Mukund Kirdat announced at a press conference in Pune that all Zilla Parishads and Panchayat Samiti and municipal elections in Pune district will be contested independently.

“73 groups and 146 “gans” have been determined in Pune district. It was said today that Aam Aadmi Party will contest all these seats independently and will start the process of determining candidates for them. While offering new options, this will be an opportunity for many honest political activists who could not contest any election for many years due to the established dynastic rule. The entry of Aam Aadmi Party in Pune district may shock the established leaders who keep changing parties for power and who do politics by keeping the financial pulse of cooperatives in their hands,” Kirdat said

Kirdat said the development of the common man, education, health facilities, work for hands, fair prices, and exposing corruption will be the focus of the election campaign.

“In rural areas, farmers’ agricultural produce is not getting the same price as it was ten years ago. In addition, milk producers and other allied businesses are also in trouble. The quality of government schools in the district is poor and the health system is completely on the verge of collapse in Pune District,” said Pune District (East, South) President Dattatray Kad, “Aam Aadmi Party will try to change the system,” he further added.

“The party is working in Junnar, Ambegaon, Maval areas in opposition to smart meters, seeking justice for displaced victims abnd basic facilities for tribals. For the first time, the party’s characterful workers who are leading the party in rural areas will be given a chance through these elections. Youth who think that politics is not a business of making money but a medium for social work and bringing about change were appealed to join the parties on this occasion,” Pune District (West, North) President Vaibhav Temkar said, adding that they will contest this election through people’s donations.

AAP’s state spokesperson Mukund Kirdat, Pune Rural District President Dattatray Kad, Vaibhav Temkar as well as Shivaji Kolte, Sunil Savdi, Subhash Karande etc. were present in the event.
