Ashok Jayendar, Coimbatore’s youngest candidate, raring to go
May 3, 2016
Health and education will be made free for all. I will set up a health care centre that will offer basic free health service. Every three wards in the Singanallur constituency will have one health care facility – this comes from Ashok Jayendar, 27-year-old candidate from Singanallur.
Having spent a few years of his life in the U.K., the youngest candidate in Coimbatore Ashok has plans of implementing U.K.’s health care system in the Singanallur constituency.
As his manifesto for his constituency, he has lots of plans that he is positive will make a difference. He is confident that the people of the 20 wards affiliated to the Singanallur constituency will vote for change. If given a chance to serve his people, Ashok Jayendar says he will organise meetings on a regular basis.
At these meetings the various heads of Coimbatore will discuss with the public ways and means to improve the Singanallur constituency.
“Also, the progress of works like construction of bridges, roads and other infrastructure projects will be monitored. This will be an open discussion forum where every aspect of governance will be made transparent,” Ashok shares. He also assures that if given an opportunity to lead people, he will work on ways and means to make Singanallur a profitable industrial hub. One of the ways he plans to achieve this is by creating a portal of the Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) that are currently located in this region. Through this portal, Ashok plans to attract overseas investment.
This mechanical engineer from the UK gave up his plum paying job and returned to Coimbatore in 2014. It was then that he joined hands with a few of his friends and founded the NGO Team Acham Illai, a non-profit organisation that works against injustice.
“I have always wanted to serve the people. I thought what better way if not politics. I also realised that independently I cannot do so, which is why I am with the Pattali Makkal Katchi (PMK) party,” Ashok shares.
He ends the conversation with: “August 15 India won its independence. May 16 the State will head towards change.”
