1. Law and Order:<\/strong><\/span>

- Ghanshyam Singh, Congress:<\/strong> The law and order situation is not good. If I win, I will play the role of the opposition and put pressure on the government and administration to improve it. If needed, I will raise the issue at the Bhopal and Gwalior levels as well.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n

2. Youth’s question-<\/strong><\/span>
\n- \n
- Ashutosh Tiwari, BJP:<\/strong> The Chief Minister has assured to work on business opportunities worth 11.5 thousand crore rupees in Datia. Efforts will be made to work on development-related issues, including the stadium. The stalled development of the last two and a half years will be compensated in the coming two and a half years.<\/li>\n
- Ghanshyam Singh, Congress:<\/strong> The existing stadium is quite old. Its foundation was laid when my father was an MP. Now there is a need for a new stadium for outdoor sports. I will make efforts for this.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n

3. Employment:<\/strong><\/span>
\n- \n
- Ashutosh Tiwari, BJP:<\/strong> The Chief Minister’s focus is on increasing employment opportunities in Datia. There are employment possibilities here. After the model code of conduct ends, government and party leaders will sit down and plan for this.<\/li>\n
- Ghanshyam Singh, Congress:<\/strong> We will put pressure on the government for employment and will agitate if necessary. Efforts will be made to increase employment opportunities in the region.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n

4. Fertilizer problem:<\/strong><\/span>
\n- \n
- Ashutosh Tiwari, BJP:<\/strong> To my knowledge, farmers are not facing a shortage of fertiliser. Facilities provided under the rules are reaching the people. Farmers are also satisfied with the government’s work.<\/li>\n
- Ghanshyam Singh, Congress:<\/strong> During the Congress government, there was no such shortage of fertiliser. Under the BJP government, farmers are having to struggle for fertilizer. We will put pressure on the administration to ensure farmers get fertiliser on time.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n

- Ghanshyam Singh, Congress:<\/strong> The responsibility for cleanliness and urban systems lies with the municipality. Municipal elections are next year. Our effort will be to ensure better representatives are elected there.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n
