Sanjay Dina Patil is now the new Member of Parliament (MP) representative from Ghatkopar area.

The following is a quote from Mumbai Mirror .

NCP MLA Sanjay Patil scored a surprise win in a closely fought contest against the BJP’s Kirit Somaiya and MNS’s Shishir Shinde.

“It does not matter whether I won by a single vote or a one lakh margin. I have won and will work for the entire constituency. This is the victory of the Congress-NCP-RPI alliance. It isn’t my individual victory. We were expecting to win in any case,” said Patil, beaming with pride.

“The constituency faces infrastructure problems because of the rising population. Raging issues include load shedding and water shortage in Shivaji Nagar, as well as problems with the dumping ground. I will address all these issues,” he said.

Meanwhile, his opponent Somaiya chose to stay away from the counting booth right from the beginning, probably anticipating what was to come.

Even after the results were declared, Somaiya did not speak to the media. "

# Important to note is the highlighting of the point of the garabge dump at Deonar, which has now become a very big health hazard issue for the local area.

Hope his support will help us to take this issue, what with the High Court which has given an order whereby the BMC has been asked to take several mesaures to see that the Deonar garbage dump is propeely mainatined and the burning of the waste is not done and also to look for alternative site as the Deonar Garnage Dumping has reached its saturating point and its almost upto the height of 5 floors.

Election 2009 - Mumbai North East Constituency

General Elections 2009 is a declared and will have the First Phase starting tomorrow.

Mumbai is a hotly contested region for all the politial parties, and for that they would go all out for the win win situation.

Ghatkopar comes under the MUMBAI NORTH EAST CONSTITUENCY and not surprisingly is a very big one. This election is going to see not much contest for the reason that the constituency has been divided and the standing MP Gurudas Kamat is now contesting from North West. That leaves Kirit Somaiya of the BJP a clear leader from the start.

Though not much of a difference it makes but it would have been better if NGO like AGNI would make a political party and have prominent people from the public stand and fight the elections.

Agni has been doing its bit for arranging the MEET YOUR CANDIDATE events to help people know more about who is standing . Apart from Kirit Somaiya , i really dont know who is contesting along with him. So let me do a google seach and find out......
