Siddharth Shirole, the incumbent Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MLA from Pune's Shivajinagar, has been renominated by the saffron party for the Nov 20 Maharashtra Assembly polls.
In an exclusive interview with The Free Press Journal, Shirole spoke about the pressing issues in his constituency, such as traffic congestion, and assured that the ruling Mahayuti alliance is actively working to address them.
He confirmed that the controversial Balbharati-Paud Phata Road project has been scrapped and assured that the hills in the city will remain untouched.
Responding to the opposition's accusations of the BJP engaging in dynastic politics, Shirole defended his party and explained why those claims were baseless.
'Indebted to BJP for renominating me'
Shirole said he was indebted to his party for renominating him from the Shivajinagar Assembly seat.
He thanked party leaders, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah and Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, for reposing faith in him.
"I will make sure that the faith they have reposed in me for the second time in a row is upheld. I will not let them down. I will ensure that with the organisation's help, we will win by a handsome majority this time," he said.
'We are addressing the traffic congestion as an urban renewal challenge'
The BJP leader stated that the double-decker flyover on University Road is 75% ready and will be operational by January 2025, solving major traffic issues.
