When the undivided Shiv Sena was in charge, Aurangabad didn`t have any communal riots. But in the last five years, there`s been trouble, which affected businesses and made it hard to create new jobs. Chandrakant Khaire, who`s running for Shiv Sena (UBT) in Aurangabad, criticised both AIMIM and Shiv Sena. He said people who left the party are called "Gaddar." Even though they have MLAs and MPs, the voters are still with us, he said in an interview with mid-day.

You`ve been an MP and MLA for 28 years, yet the struggle for water continues.
I had a plan to bring in extra water from the Jayakwadi dam. However, in 2016, corporators from AIMIM and BJP opposed the project because they didn`t want Shiv Sena to receive credit. It wasn`t until MVA came into power that the project finally started. Originally budgeted at R792 crore, the project`s cost has now surged to Rs 2,200 crores due to the delay. Nonetheless, work on the project is now underway.
