Focus on women reshapes campaign narrative in Pune municipal polls

BJP's Aishwarya Pathare launches a women-focused manifesto for Pune's Ward 3, prioritizing health, safety, skill development, and empowerment.

"Manifesto is built on four key pillars: women's health, women's safety, women's skill development and women's empowerment - Aishwarya Surendra Pathare"

Pune, January 12

With the Pune Municipal Corporation elections entering the final phase, Bharatiya Janata Party leader Aishwarya Surendra Pathare has unveiled a separate manifesto for her ward, from where she is contesting, making it women-centric.

She is the BJP candidate from Ward No. 3 in Pune.

Speaking to reporters here, Pathare said the manifesto has been tailored to women's specific needs.

"Manifesto is built on four key pillars: women's health, women's safety, women's skill development and women's empowerment and has been designed keeping in mind the specific needs of women in the Lohegaon and Wagholi areas of East Pune," she added.

Pathare said that the initiative aims to ensure that women become active partners in the development process.

"After being elected, work on women's health facilities, safety measures, skill-based training and economic empowerment will be taken up on priority," she said.

She added that the manifesto would not remain limited to announcements on paper.

"Our teams will go door to door in Wagholi and Lohegaon to ensure that these schemes are implemented at the grassroots level," she said.

Pathare, who has an engineering and IT background, has also linked her campaign to Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis' '100 Days, 100 Works' initiative, promising to complete 100 development works within 100 days of being elected.

"I will work not just as a corporator, but as a project manager for Ward No. 3, ensuring time-bound and result-oriented governance," she added.

East Pune, including Yerwada, Wagholi, Lohegaon, Chandan Nagar, and Kharadi, is experiencing rapid urban growth, and Pathare said her women-centric manifesto aims to ensure women benefit equally from these developments.

The State Election Commission in Maharashtra has announced elections to 29 municipal corporations across the state, including the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC), PMC, and Pimpri-Chinchwad Municipal Corporation (PCMC). Polling will be held on January 15, with counting scheduled for January 16.

Good to see a manifesto with clear pillars. The '100 Days, 100 Works' link shows she means business. But let's be real, we've heard such promises before. The real test will be after the elections. I appreciate the focus, but execution is everything.

As someone who recently moved to Kharadi for work, the infrastructure is struggling to keep up with the growth. A women-centric development plan that includes safety and skill training could really help new residents like me settle in better. Promising approach.

Her engineering background and project manager approach is refreshing for a corporator. East Pune needs systematic development, not just populist schemes. If she can bring that IT professionalism to civic works, it will benefit everyone, not just women.

Door-to-door implementation sounds good on paper, but will her teams actually understand the ground realities? Many women in Lohegaon are home-based workers. Economic empowerment schemes must reach them directly. The intent is right, but the mechanism is key.

While focusing on women is important, I hope the overall ward development doesn't take a backseat. Our roads, water supply, and waste management need urgent attention too. A balanced approach is what a good corporator should deliver.
