Celebrity nutritionist Rujuta Diwekar on Thursday revealed key areas that she expects to be addressed in the upcoming Maharashtra assembly election 2024. These include common health and food-related issues.
Taking to her X account, she wrote, "As a voter, I would like polls to be about: clean air (not smog guns), mass transportation (not cars), footpaths for walking, breakfast in anganwadi (along with midday meal), subsidies for native crops, better work conditions for sanitation workers."

This demand for clean air comes at a time when Mumbai's air quality is undergoing a dip. The AQI is further expected to go down during Diwali. Earlier this month, Diwekar had taken to X to highlight the harms of poor air quality.
"Eat as clean as you want, exercise as hard as you can, maintain a good sleep hygiene but bear in mind that poor air quality will kill us all," she wrote.
The Mumbai-based nutritionist is often vocal on her social media, sharing her opinions on important issues and matters of day-to-day life.
