Young businessman Arvind Shinde is aspiring to make it big in Solapur politics. He has unsuccessfully contested municipal elections but has not lost hope. He says he has a mantra to be successful in politics – have a sugar mill. He draws attention to the fact that in the 2019 Assembly elections, more than 100 sugar barons were in the fray.
Solapur is one of the drought-prone sugar regions in Maharashtra, and in the current cane crushing season, the highest number of sugar mills (38) started operations in this region. Of these, 25 are privately-owned.
