With the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) elections entering a decisive phase, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) candidate Aishwarya Pathare, drawing inspiration from Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis’ governance model, has outlined a structured and time-bound roadmap for her first 100 days in office for Ward 3, placing citizen participation, cleanliness and delivery of essential civic services at the core of her campaign.
Pathare’s proposed agenda begins with a Ward Audit and Citizen Listening Drive, which she has described as the foundation of responsive and accountable local governance. The initiative will involve door-to-door interactions across the ward, supported by digital feedback mechanisms, to identify the ten most pressing civic issues faced by residents. Based on these findings, Pathare has committed to releasing a comprehensive Ward Status Report within 30 days of assuming office, publicly outlining existing gaps in infrastructure, services and civic amenities.
Cleanliness and waste management form a major pillar of the 100-day plan. Under a proposed Cleanliness and Solid Waste Mission, Pathare has promised daily monitoring of garbage lifting, identification and elimination of black spots and illegal dumping points, and stricter enforcement of waste segregation in housing societies and slum areas. The plan also includes garbage-free lanes, cleaner internal roads and well-maintained parks and playgrounds.
Addressing everyday civic concerns, Pathare’s roadmap prioritises quick, visible improvements in basic infrastructure, including the repair of non-functional streetlights, damaged footpaths, road cleanliness and more regular water supply. According to the candidate, these are tangible deliverables that residents should experience within the first three months of her tenure.
Women’s safety and transparency are also key focus areas. Pathare has linked better lighting, cleaner public spaces and close monitoring of civic works to safer neighbourhoods, while committing to regular public communication and personal on-ground reviews of all projects.
“Taking inspiration from Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, I am committed to delivering visible and time-bound development. If elected, I will come with a First 100 Days Plan for my ward,” Pathare said.
“My focus will be on clean roads, regular water supply, women’s safety, streetlights, waste management and transparent governance. Citizens should feel the change within 100 days, not just hear promises.”
As urban voters increasingly demand measurable outcomes and accountability, Pathare’s emphasis on early delivery, public reporting and citizen participation is expected to be closely watched as the PMC polls draw closer.
