Well as expected the result went in favor of Prakash Mehta of the BJP , he also created a record of sorts by winning 4 consecutive times.
This does show that the people of Ghatkopar don't expect much change and so stuck to the old method of playing it safe.
Virendra Bakshi of the Congress gave good competition, if either Raja Mirani or Virendra Bakshi would have been in the fray the votes split would not have happened and the Congress might would have won this time
The surprising thing is the votes garnered by the MNS and also by Raja Mirani , shows people do want to have change & the contest is wide open ,but for now Prakash Mehta rules and people of Ghatkopar hope that he does more for this area and make Ghatkopar East a model constituency that the other should follow.
