Mr. Sunil Tatkare As Development Perspectives For The New Member of Parliament

In the 17th Lok Sabha election, Honourable Mr Sunil Tatkare is elected as the new Member of Parliament and the major political equations of three decades got changed in Raigad constituency. It was a tough fight between Honourable Mr Sunil Tatkare and existing Member of Parliament Mr Anant Geete. Honourable Mr Sunil Tatkare appealed people to choose the energetic leader instead of inactive leadership of Mr Anant Geete. On the other hand, Raigad district was considered as the bastion of Shiv Sena. But finally the fight between active leadership and inactive leadership has got its verdict and people have chosen their dynamic leader in the form of Honourable Mr Sunil Tatkare.

With increased position responsibility also increases. Honourable Mr Sunil Tatkare needs to attend many developmental perspectives in Raigad constituency now. He is adored as the leader with development vision and people have many expectations and hopes from him.

Despite having the Union Minister position to the elected representative of the Raigad Lok Sabha constituency, the district is not developed yet. Many fundamental facilities are not availed to colonies and villages in Raigad district. Former Member of Parliament and Heavy Industries Minister, Mr Anant Geete never took interest in the development of Raigad district. Neither he worked for the fundamental development in the district nor did he bring any major projects in the district.

Honourable Mr Sunil Tatkare will need to work on the availability of fundamental amenities and facilities such as transportation facilities, irrigation facilities in remote areas of Raigad district. Raigad district has many tribal colonies which are deprived of basic facilities. Honourable Mr Sunil Tatkare will need to pay attention to water transportation facility in the district. This type of connectivity will add to the convenience of the people and also it will be a developmental initiative in the district. The coastal highway concept is not completed yet in Raigad district. Being Member of Parliament for this constituency Honourable Mr Sunil Tatkare will have to work hard on the completion of coastal highway in order to connect remote areas and convenience of the people and to avail better transportation facilities to Raigad district people. Eventually, it will also help to recognise the Raigad district as an international tourist place.

Another issue that needs to be addressed by Honourable Mr Sunil Tatkare is unemployment. Due to unemployment problem Raigad youth needs to relocate at Mumbai-Pune and even Surat. This leads to instability in the family and it also results in educational problems to their children. Fishermen community is also facing many issues. They do not have any other earning source and they are not getting much benefit through fishing business.

Honourable Mr Sunil Tatkare will also need to pay attention to the completion of the expansion and four-laning of Mumbai-Goa highway. This work is pending for many years due to land acquisition issues. Raigad district’s 84-kilometer zone work was pending for the last 8 years and it led to the inconvenience of travelers on the highway. Completion of four-laning of Mumbai-Goa highway will add to the convenience, transport facilities and connectivity. Many Railway related tasks are also pending, including double lining of Konkan Railway and electrification of the Konkan Railway line. Ro-Ro service is also not completed yet. Terminal work is accomplished, but the service is not started yet.

In all, there are many developmental perspectives to be attended by Honourable Mr Sunil Tatkare in order to achieve the development of Raigad district and to promote the tourism industry in the Konkan. Transportation facilities, irrigation facility, education facility, electricity, and many other fundamental amenities need to be availed for the masses. The strong and active leadership of Honourable Mr Sunil Tatkare can transform the Raigad District positively in the next 5 years.
