Suresh alias Pappu Kalani, MLA, Ulhasnagar lobbied and saved the illegal homes in Ulhasnagar... 1,00,000 middle class junta saved!!
I think he is the first guy who tried to do something for this tribe.... there will always be politicos who will fight for Dalits, Zoppadpattis, SC/ST, Advasis, poor & oppressed coz of their vote bank...
Though I don't agree that illegal constructions must be saved but in a city where FSI is 1.2 and Slums who contribute nothing in taxes to the government or municipality could be regularized then these middle class dwellings can also be saved.
I wonder what will happen in Delhi now, will they cite Ulhasnagar examples and regularize it ??
Also Pappu Kalani has got himself virtually elected for the next elections.
Mumbai Mirror writes about da man.
The men who saved Ulhasnagar
WOW...thats a good deed indeed..however, it always leaves with the thought...'there are no free lunches' so....whts his intention behind and you say he got elected...I hope he doesnt turn out to be one of those politicians...!
ReplyDeleteGood luck!
cheers
there are 2 thigns... either this was some hogwash to create support for ncp/congress or pappu kalani is a decent gangsta...
ReplyDeleteI think he is better than many who kill in the name of religion..
I would'nt go ask far out as saying that Pappu Kalani is a saviour and I should know, I live in Ulhasnagar.
ReplyDeleteThe situation of illegal buildings arose because of the way Pappu Kalani treated the local machinary as part of his fiefdom.
I hope and pray that residents of Ulhasnagar end supporting him and give somebody else a chance to respresent them.
kamal : I agree with you, but he is atleast he hasnt abandoned the people...Nie guys wont be able to win elections in Ulhasnagar, will they??
ReplyDeleteThe best option would be if ulhasnagar is granted SEZ status and increased FSI.
