The Majhi Ladki Behan scheme has greatly benefited many women, and substantial funding has been allocated for urban development. We will fight this election on the basis of development.”

Recently, Tingre has claimed that no MLA before him has managed to bring as much funding to the constituency as he has. Tingre had expressed confidence that voters would recognize this and cast their votes based on the progress and development achieved during his tenure.
