Pune: Lawyer Mahesh Gajendragadkar has entered the fray for the Lok Sabha election with an agenda for the city's overall development.

Gajendragadkar has come out with a digital campaign, Punekar, One Minute, through which he plans to reach out to the maximum voters via one-minute videos to share his ideas on the city's development.

"The one-minute videos aim to establish communication with youths and every citizen. The city has over 20 lakh voters. It is difficult to reach every voter physically. Videos will help reach the maximum number of voters,” he said.

Gajendragadkar has already launched his poll campaign and started speaking to people from different fields which includes experts, senior citizens, traders and vendors to get a feel.

He said the city needs four municipal corporations as existing civic body has not been able to handle the vast expanse of the city after the recent merger of the villages in the fringes.

He said the parking issue can be solved with better planning by providing a floor space index (FSI) for parking facility at a lower rate and eliminate the height restrictions. The existing policy adopted by the political parties and administration would not resolve the parking issue, he said.

Gajendragadkar said garbage processing units at every house to eliminate transport and dumping of waste is necessary. Experts in every field instead of a municipal commissioner who has most rights to take decisions.
