Residents, and TEAM WACO led by Anil Kumar Mishra have been voicing their  concerns over the deteriorating road conditions, lack of proper water supply, and ineffective traffic management. They called for action from both candidates to address these pressing issues and ensure the well-being of Wagholi residents.

With the 2024 Lok Sabha elections looming, the residents of Wagholi have made it clear that they expect their elected representatives to prioritize their needs and deliver meaningful solutions. They have urged Dr. Amol Kolhe and Shivajirao Adhalrao Patil to engage with citizens, present their plans, and demonstrate their commitment to addressing the challenges faced by Wagholi.
