Dhule (Maharashtra) [India], November 6 (ANI): Ahead of the upcoming Maharashtra assembly elections, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Anup Agarwal on Wednesday lashed out at the opposition’s candidate, saying that they were not able to bring any business or industry to the Dhule City assembly constituency. Agarwal is up against Maha Vikas Aghadi candidate and UBT Sena vetran and 3 time MLA Anil Gote and incumbent MLA who represents the AIMIM Farkh Anwar.
When asked about his opposition in the upcoming assembly polls, Agarwal said that his party has more to talk about the work they have done as compared to others.
“We have a vision. We have done more work (than others). During Mahayuti’s tenure, the kind of work we have done here is huge. The development work is still going on. It is the efforts of our MP Subhash Bamre from Dhule and us that have brought development work (in the area),” he said.
“I am contesting elections from Dhule City and contesting on behalf of Mahayuti. The response from the people is good. People have high hopes from us that we will carry out development work and ensure safety. Only Mahayuti can do this. Mahayuti will win with a huge margin,” the BJP candidate from Dhule City assembly constituency said.
Taking a dig at the opposition candidates, Agrawal said that they were not even able to bring any kind of business or industry to the constituency. He also emphasised the need to expand the Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation (MIDC) to the Dhule City constituency.
“They failed to bring any industry or business in Dhule City. Look at the condition of this city, it is ridden with the problem of encroachment. The problems of hawkers on the streets are also there because these poor people don’t have any other work. That’s the reason the poor are forced to do all this work,” he said.
“First, we want to expand MIDC. Dhule City stands at the border of two states including Madhya Pradesh and Gujarat. Here, a highway is already planned. The water issue has also been resolved. The railway line work has also started. We want to develop this city by bringing in industries,” the BJP leader said.
The Maharashtra Assembly elections are scheduled for November 20, with counting for all 288 constituencies set for November 23. In the 2019 assembly elections, the BJP won 105 seats, the Shiv Sena 56, and the Congress 44. In 2014, the BJP secured 122 seats, the Shiv Sena 63, and the Congress 42. (ANI)
