THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT

The election results have been an eye opener to say the least. The people of India have very obviously opted for a stable government, a secular party and a strong Prime Minister. Partisan politics based on caste and religion is being rejected as is amply evident from the resounding success of the UPA candidates all over India.

I thank all of you, my fellow Punekars, for reposing your faith in me once again. I assure you that as always, I will continue to work for my constituency – Pune, to the best of my ability. As I have mentioned before, development is a continuous process. Our party undertook many development projects in Pune. We have planned the Vision 2020 document, not only for the next 5 years, but for a global Pune in 2020! With our win in these elections, we will ensure that the plans get implemented. Vision 2020 is a ‘Citizen’s document’ and we will solicit your valuable suggestions in future as well.

It was really exciting to see the youth taking an active interest in these elections. The credit for this goes to Mr. Rahul Gandhi for his leadership in taking the youth along with him. The leadership of Mrs. Sonia Gandhi and and the stable governance by Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh is responsible for the success of the Congress Party in these elections. With such a majority in the Lok Sabha, the UPA is bound to come out with flying colours at the end of the next 5 years.

I thank all my colleagues within my party and from the allied parties for their

support to me for these elections.

I once again assure you that I will work hard to achieve overall development of Pune. Your belief in me has instilled a new confidence in me. As I have always maintained, my competition is with myself and I will indeed try to succeed against my past record.

Thank you once again for making an informed choice.

Warm regards

Suresh Kalmadi
