Speaking at a function organised in Baramati where 6,000 cycles were distributed, a young girl from the audience expressed her desire to be a member of Parliament to which Sule replied saying, “We will give you the ticket, but for that you must first work for our party.”

During the event Sule also interacted with many other girls and spoke to them on how it is important that one must pursue a career of one’s choice.

Meanwhile, a day after Amit Shah, chief Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) announced his aim at winning the Baramati constituency in the upcoming elections, Sule made a direct comparison between her constituency and Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s constituency, Varanasi.

Speaking at the inauguration of a dialysis centre at Jejuri on Sunday Sule said, “Work related to the welfare of common people has been done on a larger scale in Baramati in comparison to Varanasi which is headed by the PM himself. The implementation of the Rashtriya Vayoshri Yojana scheme for providing physical aid and assisted-living devices for senior citizens belonging to below poverty line (BPL) has been more effective in Baramati than it is in Varanasi.”

According to Sule, a total of 11, 737 people in her constituency have benefited from this scheme. Not only in Maharashtra but in the country overall, Baramati topped the list of beneficiaries in this scheme.

Ambulances of the Pawar charitable trust in Baramati were also launched by Sule. On February 15, equipments under the Rashtriya Vayoshri Yojana will be distributed to the citizens in the presence of Chief Minister(CM) Devendra Fadnavis, NCP chief Sharad Pawar and deputy CM Ajit Pawar among others.
