Jai Jawan Jai Kisan Jai Vigyan, Desh ki Pragati ho Pradhan, De do Sailen Ghosh ko Apna Matdan

Friends,
I am contesting to honour the voice of Mumbaikars. Post 26×11, the entire population of Mumbai sought a change- change in leadership, change in devising mechanism to tackle Terrorism, Corruption, environment protection and issues pertaining to Mumbai.

I am of firm opinion that changes do not come automatically. Innovative mechanism need to be adopted to bring change. I am confident that I will achieve change through implementation of my manifesto indicated below.

I have been a Scientist with India’s Premier R&D Labs for 34 years and a common man all my life and hence what I am saying has its basis to address the issues.

My manifesto:

1. Identify, Isolate and Remove the ills plaguing our society and restricting our growth.
2. Every one looks for security, safety and prosperity and this can be achieved via change in Government Service Conduct Rule and transparency in Government. I will seek to modify the Service Conduct Rules so that anyone and everyone can debate on various Government Policies.
3. While most politicians ask for more funds, my endeavor will be to generate new wealth for the country by means of Innovations in R&D.
4. I want to make scientific bodies accountable to the nation. Their priority should be to work towards making us a Developed Country in all respects.
5. I want to set-up an “Employee Rights Commission”, on the lines of Human Right Commission, to prevent harassment of sincere and honest officials. These upright officials are an asset to the nation and suppressing them will make us hollow from within.
6. I want to set up “Special Courts”, dealing with corruption cases. The aim of these courts will be to give a judgment within 10 days.
7. I want to build a senior citizens home named ‘TAPOVAN’. TAPOVAN will integrate the senior citizens back into society and they will lead a dignified life. This will be achieved by creating forums where youngsters have an opportunity to learn from the experienced and talented senior citizens. Each senior citizen will share his expertise in his chosen domain.
8. I want the giant wheels of government machineries to be run by participation of one and all, rather than leaving it in the hands of politicians and bureaucrats only.

For a change, VOTE FOR CHANGE.

Your vote is valuable; please cast your vote in my favour and give me the mandate to honour your desire to bring about a change.

With warm personal regards

Dr Sailen Kumar Ghosh
