BMC Elections....
I really adore Sharad Pawar for his political acumen. But sometimes even a strategist like him fails and it does impact the overall political contours of the national politics. For example, in the year 1999 he moved out of the Congress party on the issue of Sonia Gandhi's origin issue just before the Lok Sabha Elections. It did cost the Congress and Sharad Pawar's party the NCP dear and Sena and the BJP made a killing inspite of been inefficient. Post this mistake, Mr Pawar did realise that in politics its does not matter where one is born but the kind of Karma one does that is needed to win the heart and votes in India. His party the NCP aligned with the Congress and routed the Sena- BJP combine in the next Lok Sabha and Vidhan Sabha elections. But I think leaders on both the sides suffer from political amnesia and they again went into the recent Muncipal Elections across the state of Maharashtra alone. The net effect was that the ailing Tiger which has lost all its tooth, due to his nephew and erstwhile aide Narayan Rane's revolt, got some teeth back (I sometimes feel, it was Mr Pawar, who was trying to help the Tiger to win the coveted BMC elections by not having a tie-up with the Congress). I really hope that the Sena does some work unlike last time in the BMC and improves the life of common Mumbaikars. May be this is the last time for the cub to show that he can really become a Tiger and keep the Shiv Sena alive into the next decade.

The NMMC Standing Committee approved the last phase of work inside condominiums worth nearly Rs. 37 Crore this week.
Approvals of nearly Rs. 33 Crore for executing work inside condominiums is going to bring major relief to apartments owners living in unhygienic and pathetic environs within CIDCO condominiums. The biggest issue of CIDCO condominiums is the decade’s old sewerage and water pipelines. Most residents living within condominiums hail from economically weaker background and could not carry out timely repair and maintenance work. And the increasing population only aggravated these civic issues. Since, NMMC did not have a policy in place to spend funds inside CIDCO condominiums, the conditions of water and sewerage pipelines became worse by the day, raising grave health issues for residents. In wake of the gravity of the issue, Thane Guardian Minister Ganesh Naik followed up the matter with the Chief Minister’s office and finally got a policy in place that permitted NMMC to carry out civic work inside condominiums.
