Thunder strikes and lighting frights is all that is there for last 3 days. The south India rains have moved upwards to Mumbai and looks like it gonna rain and fill the lakes.
The surprise factor like in the rains is also visible when i saw the pamphlet of Raja Mirani as Independent candidate with the symbol of a broken coconut in a store. He was being potrayed as the candidate from Congress Ghatkopar East area for the Assembly elections 2009 of Maharashtra, but turns out that he did not get the favor of the Congress heads in Mumbai.
Instead the candidate is Virendra Bakshi, who was in 1994 the MLA here, nothing concrete happened when he was elected then and will happen if he wins He just shifted base after he lost the next term and was nowhere to be seen and now like the unpredictable rains he has come back .
Raja Mirani has an office near Ratna Stores and is a known face within the business community as well as the local Gujrathis and certain people who know him personally but he has not been a crusader or a social activist or like that which he portrays in his pre-elections posters.
But considering that he spends most of his time in Ghatkopar east and has friends and families here he has a better knowledge of the problems, the situations and the pulse of the people , more than Virendra Bakshi.
The present MLA Praksh Mehta is no less a force as he has won for the last 3 terms and now is a favorite to win due to the bungling of the congress.
Nevertheless whoever wins, the Ghatkoparites have to a have social activist or someone more professional to deal with the problems being faced.
1. The roads are a mess
2. The sewage problem in Garodia Nagar / Nath pai Nagar
3. The Deonar dump problems
4. Illegal hawkesrs and constructions in the main roads as well as other areas
The above are some of the problems , we need to have a change from the present MLA and fresh mindset to make better the lifes of the common people.

Hi, couldn’t help but comment... the article written by you seems heavily biased for Mr Mirani. I wish you had surveyed slums a little more before writing about Mr Bakshi... none the less you can still visit Ramabai or kamaraj & enquire, where Mr Bakshi has worked day & night to solve their issues without any post or position since last 20 years (BTW he was elected in 1985 not 1994). As far as Mr Mirani's candidature is concerned, well just by putting up banners about social work & your connections with Congress does not make you eligible for a ticket. Do visit www.virendrabakshi.com for more on Mr Bakshi’s vision & past work for Ghatkopar. Hope you appreciate it.
