The veteran actress also claimed that if voted to power, she would turn Mathura into a tourist hub.
“There is lot of spiritual and tourist potential in Mathura. I would make efforts to develop infrastructure so that tourists proceeding to Agra may not miss Mathura”, she said.
Hema said she will also work towards getting Mathura declared as a ‘tirthasthal' (pilgrimage centre).
“Connecting Goverdhan, Nandgaon, Barsana, Vrindaban with the rail link would be my priority”, she added. Narrating her plans about bringing a planned development in the city and about opening avenues for employment, she said, “Efforts would be made to bring Mathura in the ambit of NCR and then priority would be the establishment of big industries.”
The BJP candidate pitted against Rashtriya Lok Dal's (RLD) general secretary Jayant Chaudhary, son of party chief Ajit Singh, is also working to woo women electors, which are likely play an important role in the elections here.
Out of the total 16,83,994 electors in the constituency, 7,50,471 are women. Mathura is going to polls on April 24. In Amritsar, BJP candidate Arun Jaitley claiming to buy a house in the city, earlier became a centre of a row. Jaitley's Congress rival Amarinder Singh filing a complaint with the Election Commission, called the purchase as “part of his election campaign” expenses and aimed at garnering support from people as they have been considering the saffron leader as an “outsider”.
