Aam Aadmi Party CM candidate Advocate Amit Palyekar was warmly welcomed by constituents during his door to door campaign in the St Cruz constituency, said the party on Friday.
In a press release, AAP stated that after the party declared Palyekar as the CM face, the people of St Cruz are overjoyed and see Palyekar as a new hope for the constituency.
A St Cruz constituent expressed that Palyekar would be the second Kejriwal and the people feel fortunate to have an honest, talented, and hardworking candidate like him. Another constituent presented him with his favourite dish, Sheer Korma. Several residents who have known Palyekar since childhood and treat him like their own child gave him a warm welcome, the release adds.
"I support AAP's appointment of Palyekar as the party's chief ministerial candidate. Palyekar had been reaching out to St Cruz folks whenever they were in need even before entering politics. While he has performed many services during Covid, his aim now is to deliver corruption-free governance in the state, and St Cruz people will support him in this endeavour", a St Cruz resident said.
While speaking to the media Palyekar said, "St Cruz has seen no development for the past 25 years. The villager's long-pending demand for a market at St Cruz village has not been met. After being one of the most popular tourist destinations, St Cruz does not have adequate transport connectivity. Major bus stops are in disarray. Even the basic amenities, such as uninterrupted water and power supply, are lacking at St Cruz".
Adding he said, "In St Cruz, the people are looking for a change, and I promise to bring that change. If AAP gets elected, St Cruz will get basic amenities like uninterrupted power supply and water supply, as well as good roads."
