Pune: Ghorpadi residents confident about Ramesh Bagwe’s win in Cantonment segment, participate in padyatra in large number
Pune: Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA)-Congress candidate from the Cantonment Assembly constituency Ramesh Bagwe held a padyatra in Ghorpadi on Thursday (November 7) morning as a part of his poll campaign. He received a huge response to the walkathon.
Bagwe said, “Traffic issues have assumed a serious proportion in the Cantonment Assembly segment. Citizens face traffic congestion daily. Traffic issues have become complex in the past 10 years. Commuters get stuck in traffic while waiting for the railway gate to open in Ghorpadi. They spend over 30 minutes stranded.
“A flyover needs to be built in the area. However, the flyover could not be built in Ghorpadi though the BJP ruled at the Centre and in the State for the past 10 years. The Cantonment area’s development has halted. A change is needed to solve issues in the constituency.”
Citizens in Ghorpadi and BT Kawade Road areas welcomed Bagwe’s padyatra. Later, another padyatra was held in Somwar Peth and Daruwala Pul areas in the evening. Citizens assured Bagwe of his victory. His padyatra in Ghorpadi area started at 9 am from Ghorpadi Bazar Ram Mandir. It passed through Failwali Chawl, Agwali Chawl, Panchshil Nagar, Ghorpadi Gaon, Vikas Nagar, Shravasti Nagar, Balaji Nagar, Shrinath Nagar, Gulmohar Park, Nigde Nagar, BT Kawade Road, Dobarwadi and concluded at Kavalemala in the afternoon.
Office-bearers and workers from the MVA participated in the walkathon in a large number. Workers of various social organisations also joined the padyatra. All-party office-bearers guided the gathering. The walkathon was welcomed by burning firecrackers at various places.
Women performed the traditional ‘Aukshan’ and wished Bagwe well. Slogans were raised to cheer up crowds. The entire area was charged with the poll atmosphere.
