Nagpur, India: Southwest Nagpur has gained momentum as Vinay Bhange, a candidate from the Vanchit Bahujan Aghadi (VBA), officially enters the 2024 Vidhan Sabha race. Bhange, known for his dedication to marginalized communities, pledges to bring fresh leadership focused on social justice, transparency, and community-driven development.

Representing the Vanchit Bahujan Aghadi (VBA), a party established by Prakash Ambedkar to champion the rights of underserved groups, Bhange aims to address the key issues of equity, employment, and infrastructure in Southwest Nagpur. His campaign highlights three main pillars: social and economic justice, transparency in governance, and development.

One of Bhange’s top priorities is to advocate for social justice and fair access to education, healthcare, and job opportunities for marginalized communities. He has promised to work towards creating employment opportunities for youth through skill development programs and partnerships with local industries. His platform also includes plans to address housing issues and secure land rights for residents in informal settlements.

Bhange emphasizes transparency and accountability, promising to maintain a direct connection with the people he represents. His plans include holding open forums regularly and maintaining an accessible approach to address constituent concerns, making him a candidate focused on consistent, long-term engagement.

On the infrastructure front, Bhange aims to improve Southwest Nagpur’s basic amenities, such as water supply, sanitation, and public transportation, with a particular focus on underserved neighborhoods. His campaign underscores the need for equitable development, including new roads, drainage upgrades, and reliable electricity services.

Bhange’s approach to campaigning is highly community-focused. In recent weeks, he has actively engaged with residents through town halls and neighborhood visits across areas like Somalwada, Rameshwari, and Manish Nagar. At a recent rally, he addressed enthusiastic crowds, reinforcing his commitment to representing the people and advocating for their needs.

The Vanchit Bahujan Aghadi, led by Prakash Ambedkar, has long stood for the rights of marginalized communities, and Bhange’s candidacy reflects these values. As election day nears, Bhange’s community-centered platform and dedication to transparency are aimed at gaining the trust and support of Southwest Nagpur’s residents.
