PUNE:
Girish
Bapat, the BJP candidate for the Pune constituency, released the party’s
manifesto for the Lok Sabha election on Wednesday.
The manifesto’s focus is on
timely completion of infrastructural projects that were launched in the city in
the past five years, including the Metro, the outer and inner ring roads,
flyovers and the transit hub.
Bapat has also proposed new
projects for the city - senior citizens’ centres, economic centres in the PMRDA
region, a skill university, a film city and a water transportation project
through the Mula-Mutha river. Bapat said the document has been drafted
considering the city’s growth over the next five decades.
BJP’s city president Yogesh
Gogawale said the manifesto is comprehensive. “We were able to launch many
projects in the past five years. The party will ensure execution of the
projects well in time,” he said. “So far, the BJP has received enthusiastic
backing of the citizens. Steps will be taken to get funds from the Union and
state governments for the execution of the projects,” he said and added the
party has resolved to develop Pune as a Smart City.
The manifesto also pays attention
to the fringe areas of the city that are witnessing large-scale development. It
has proposed a hyperloop project between Pune and Mumbai besides strengthening
the rail network in the Lonavla-Daund section.
The BJP is looking for a second
consecutive win in Pune. In 2014, it had wrested the seat from the Congress
with a margin of over 3 lakh votes.
