Jalandhar's Aggarwal sets example for others, starts removing hoardings
Ashwini Aggarwal from Ward number 80, who won the elections, took to social media today and shared that he had started removing the party hoardings.
"I have asked my party workers to remove the hoardings that have my pictures. I had promised my ward residents of the clean ward, so I will start it myself," he said.
Ashwini Aggarwal (47) , who is running the industrial unit of gun metals, has made his foray into the world of politics. He won from AAP. He is also the Lok Sabha in-charge of the party.
An ambitious Aggarwal belongs to the family of businessmen, so his entering the politics was a shocker for everyone, even for his family. Later, everyone accepted the fact.
Today he also said he would meet his ward people and ask them the problems they had been facing. "I will form a group with my ward residents and remain in touch with them," he said.
He has a clear vision for his ward. “I want to ensure that our parks are well-maintained, there is a problem of streetlights as well which will be resolved. Also, high tension wires are another threat and it will remain my priority as well. There are problems in Dada Colony as well,” he had earlier said.
When asked about the initiative that he has taken, Aggarwal said, "Elections are done. My ward residents have elected me and now it's time to work. We have to start cleanliness now. Apne ward di safai main hi krni hai, hor kaun krega (Who else will clean my ward. I will have to do that)," Aggarwal said. Ashwini got 1,423 votes. He defeated Congress's Ravi Saini who got 1,052 votes and BJP's Vipan Sharma got 477 votes. Father of three, Aggarwal is also a contender for the post of deputy mayor or mayor. “I have worked really hard for the party and am a contender for the post of mayor/deputy mayor. No one in my family has ever contested for any elections. But I have always had a wish to help people. I joined AAP and, for the last three years, was working for the people of my ward,” a confident Aggarwal said.
