“Places like Kodal and Satre (rural areas in his constituency) will soon have model sub-health centres. We have introduced diagnostic facilities at the doorstep. Those suffering heart attacks will also get timely treatment,” he said.

He said the Pramod Sawant government has enacted various legislations to improve the lives of common people, emphasising that only the BJP can ensure development and employment opportunities for the state’s youth.

Rane said the government has taken “historic steps” in the last few years to provide a sense of security to the people.

“We are working amongst the public, taking forward the ideology of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The legislations enacted by the government led by Dr Pramod Sawant aim to make a difference in the lives of common people,” he said.

Rane said the government has already started providing opportunities and would ensure jobs for educated youth in each constituency. “Today we have educated unemployed youth, and we want to find a way to help them. That can be done only by the BJP government,” he added.
