I accept people’s mandate,will rectify mistakes: Vilas Lande

“I do not hold anybody responsible for the defeat. I received full support and co-operation from the leaders and party workers of NCP,the Congress,the RPI,my well wishers,friends and relatives in the election campaign. I am highly obliged to those voters who showed trust in me and voted for me in the election. Though I have lost the election,I can continue to work for the people,as no post is required for that. I received lot of affection from the people in the Shirur constituency.”

Lande said the picture could have been different,had I received little more time for the preparation of the election. “My heartiest congratulations to my opponent Shivajirao Adhalrao. Without any party politics I am ready to help him in the development of Shirur constituency,” he stated.

Lande said failure is a stepping-stone to success. “This defeat has given me a chance for introspection. I’ll try to take lesson from this defeat and try to correct the mistakes. Though I have lost the election,I will continue working for the people.”
