The Gujarat BJP Media Department said in a press release that the Bharatiya Janata Party’s Sankalp Patra for the Gandhinagar Municipal Corporation election was announced at a press conference in Gandhinagar in the special presence of Gujarat Deputy Chief Minister Harsh Sanghavi.
State General Secretary Ajaybhai Brahmbhatt, State Secretary Niravbhai Amin, city president Ashishbhai Dave, MP Rajeshbhai Shukla, State Chief Spokesperson Dr Anilbhai Patel, Gandhinagar North MLA Ritaben Patel and Mayor Miraben Patel, among other leaders, were present at the press conference.

Mr Sanghavi said the BJP’s Sankalp Patra promises to make Gandhinagar more developed, smart, clean, beautiful, green, cultural, sports-focused and inclusive over the next five years.
The BJP has promised to make every road easier to use, every journey safer and every area part of the city’s development.
The city’s roads will be developed as a symbol of its modern identity. AI-based traffic signals will be introduced. Ch-Road will be developed as an iconic road. Road Numbers 2 and 3 and the road from Gh-7 to Pethapur will be developed as smart roads. Approach roads in different sectors will also be modernised.
The city’s roads will be changed into CC roads in phases. Planning for an overbridge from Kh-2 to Vavol will be taken forward, while the work on the overbridge from K-7 towards Randheja will be completed.
He said theme-based urban designs would be developed so that every sector of Gandhinagar gets its own identity. Special and attractive entry gates will be created for each sector. Modern footpaths and uniform and attractive beautification of main roads and public places will also be carried out.

For economically weaker and needy families, proper implementation of the PM Awas Yojana will provide permanent and well-equipped homes.
Administrative services will be decentralised so that citizens do not have to travel long distances to solve their problems.
Municipal Corporation zonal offices will be developed. This will make citizen complaints, certificates and other services easier to access at the local level.
The maximum possible use will be made of funds received from the Central and State Governments for modern urban development in Gandhinagar. Large and future-focused urban infrastructure projects will be given priority.
To make Gandhinagar clean, healthy and safe, physiotherapy centres will be developed with public participation.
Mobile food testing vans will be provided so that there is no compromise with citizens’ health.
