At Shankar Nagar Square, Sachin Krushnarao Wagade held a striking banner that read “Unemployed,” signaling his candidacy from Nagpur’s South-West constituency for the Maharashtra Legislative Elections. Running under the symbol of a “Bat,” Wagade is campaigning on a platform highlighting joblessness and the challenges faced by ordinary citizens.
Positioning himself as an “unemployed candidate,” Wagade aims to stand out against seasoned contenders like BJP leader Devendra Fadnavis and Congress veteran Praful Gudadhe. Unlike many candidates who focus on preserving religious values or constitutional principles, Wagade is directly addressing pressing everyday issues—rising inflation, inadequate infrastructure, and most prominently, unemployment—which often appear in manifestos but rarely take center stage in campaign rhetoric.
Wagade’s campaign has gained considerable attention across Nagpur, resonating particularly with young voters. However, according to sources, Wagade’s nomination documents reveal that he holds assets valued in lakhs. Despite these revelations, many youth supporters appreciate his focus on unemployment, an issue that remains deeply relevant to their lives and futures.
