Neglected Khilgaon

I have been living in Khilgaon for over 25 years. Unfortunately, I have never seen any development in this area. All sorts of works were done without any long-term thinking.
We expected much from the two previously elected Members of Parliament from two leading political parties. But Khilgaon has become a haven for the drug dealers, the traffic jams have increased and there is no sign of any improvement. People feel insecure to get out of their homes after evening. Crimes have increased at an alarming rate. Unplanned construction of buildings has created further problems. The land grabbers illegally piled up soils on Banasri Lake for construction of buildings and the authorities have not said a word about it. And, of course, there is shortage of water and electricity.
Now, I would request the citizens of Khilgaon to elect someone new in the upcoming general election, because we are really sick and tired of the false promises made by our politicians.
