Rahul Kalate, the Mahavikas Aghadi candidate from the Nationalist Congress Party (Sharad Pawar faction), has taken a strong stand on the water issues plaguing Chinchwad. Addressing a public meeting, Kalate emphasized that the water problem in Chinchwad has been neglected for the past decade, with no concrete solutions implemented.

Kalate pointed out that for the past five years, the demand for a water filtration plant at the garbage depot site has been ignored. This has resulted in immense hardship for ordinary citizens and society members. Kalate’s aggressive stance on this issue has resonated with the public, who are eager for a solution to the water crisis.

The public meeting, held on Thursday, November 14, was part of a grand road show organized in support of Kalate’s candidacy. The event was attended by Sharad Pawar, the National President of the Nationalist Congress Party (Sharad Pawar faction), who rallied support for Kalate.
