Aashish Chandorkar speaks to Siddharth Shirole, Member of Legislative Assembly (MLA) from the Shivajinagar constituency in Pune. This conversation is about Mr Shriole's work during the Coronavirus pandemic, of which Pune has been a global hot spot. We also talk about the first-time MLA's vision for Pune and take a peek in his personal life.

Shri. Siddharth Shirole is the son of veteran Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Mr Anil Shirole, who was a Member of Parliament from Pune for a term. Siddharth completed his engineering and had been running a restaurant business, before entering politics as a corporator. His political entry was criticized given his family links to the BJP, but in a short span of three years as corporator and now MLA, he has emerged as the political face for the Pune city.

Mr Shirole talks about the relief work he undertook not just in the constituency but in the city as a whole. He touches upon the need for an economic rebuilding, issues faced by businesses and his vision for Pune. #Bharatvaarta #BVPolitics #Pune
