Addressing his supporters, Gawade stressed on educational reforms in his
constituency.
“We have to give quality education to our children and we can create good society only by doing this. To tackle the issue of unemployment, there is a need to create infrastructure,” he said.
“We have to bring back reading culture by encouraging people to read. It is a must to develop ourselves and we have to do this exercise right from primary educational level,” he added.
“I have plans to create infrastructure to tackle the unemployment problem. We can come up with a concept of residential school and there is also a need to increase seats in professional colleges,” Gawade said.
“After seeing this large crowd, some will try to create rift within our community. We should be vigilant and should not fall prey to such tactics of the rivals,” he said.
“Give me one chance to represent you. I will not betray you at anytime. I will always take you into confidence,” he added.
