Targeted Messaging

Micro-Targeting Critical Wards

Localized messaging must address the precise source of anger in high-risk zones.

Ward 1: Kalas–Dhanori

Focus on specific driver phrases like "Waterlogged Craters" and "Sewage Stench."

Ward 14: Koregaon Park

Propose "Immediate Traffic Calming Measures" and high-visibility enforcement.

Ward 24: Kasba Ganapati

Focus on restoring the city's heritage by tackling Hoardings and Dust/Pollution.

Campaign Messaging

The Political Narrative Shift

We must redefine our public messaging to regain trust.

Previous Narrative

Large-scale, abstract promises.

New Narrative

Focus on Immediate, Tangible Competence. If we can fix the roads and deliver water, trust will return.

The electoral battle will be won or lost on the ability to fix BASIC INFRASTRUCTURE.

Next Steps & Follow-Up

1 Finalize candidate messaging based on Ward-specific issues identified in this report.
2 Draft a "Road-Fixing" policy framework with a clear, public 90-day guarantee.
3 Schedule immediate site visits to Critical Risk Wards (1, 14, 41) for media coverage and public engagement.
