He emphasized the importance of addressing the needs of the underprivileged, including those without access to basic amenities like gram panchayat representation.

Wadkute’s candidature reflects the BJP’s strategy to strengthen its presence in rural Maharashtra. His background as a community leader and his emphasis on inclusive growth align with the party’s broader goals. The election, scheduled for 2024, will test his ability to translate grassroots support into electoral success.#bharatiya_janata_party #ramrao_wadkute #dhankar_community #national_congress_party #hingoli
