Amar Ujala’s election chariot ‘Satta Ka Sangram’ has set out to gauge the political mood of the voters regarding the Lok Sabha elections. As per his pre-determined programme, Ara has reached the Lok Sabha constituency to talk to the people. This time this seat is also in discussion. Two-time MP and Union Minister RK Singh is contesting on the Bharatiya Janata Party ticket. He defeated RJD candidate Bhagwan Singh Kushwaha in 2014 and CPI(ML)’s Raju Yadav in 2019. This time the Indi alliance has once again expressed confidence in CPI(ML) for Ara Lok Sabha seat. Male has named Sudama Prasad as the candidate. A direct contest is being considered between these two candidates.
Voters were asked about their feelings in the name of discussion
Amidst all this, voters were asked about their feelings on the pretext of discussion over tea near the railway station of Jehanabad Lok Sabha constituency. While sipping tea, the voters of Ara Lok Sabha seat talked about many issues including health, education, cleanliness in the railway station, traffic jam, employment in the area.
Government needs to pay attention to these issues
The voter said that there has been a lot of development in Arrah in the last 10 years. Roads developed. Railways developed. Today many trains stop here. Another voter said that the public demand for Arrah does not seem to be being fulfilled. There is a pile of filth at Arrah railway station. The condition of Sadar Hospital was quite pathetic. There was a demand to make Shahabad a division. The demand to keep Ara as its headquarters has been going on for many years. The condition of farmers here is bad. It is very important to get the canals confirmed. The government needs to pay attention to agriculture.
