me®®eeF& keÀer ue[eF& Candidate Mumbai South Meera Sanyal Manifesto Meera’s Vision for Mumbai Living spaces for every family including the poorest by having access to legal, affordable and decent homes with water supply, sanitation, electricity and telecommunications. Good schools for our children, from all sections of society Affordable healthcare Modernize markets of fresh produce like vegetables, fish and poultry Parks and playgrounds, recreation for the entire family. Accessibility & safety Basic facilities like schools, hospitals, markets and recreation facilities within walking distance, and safe, comfortable and efficient public transport systems allowing Mumbaikars to commute to work. How can this be done? Swaraj or local empowerment, the bedrock of the Aam Aadmi Party’s philosophy. It is grassroots decision-making where you, the resident, can participate and represent your locality, joining with us to improve your area, our city and our country. 1546, the Magic Number. Our South Mumbai constituency comprises 20 lakh people. These are broken up into 1546 polling booths. Each booth comprises 1,000 voters. We need 1546 volunteers, representing each booth, to directly communicate with voters and with our team. Participation as a volunteer is high public service. You will learn about local issues, strengthen the party at the grassroots level and be prepared for empowered citizenship. You will learn to participate in decision-making, voice your opinions, influence projects that affect your area and your city. You will learn the funding structure of municipalities and states, and how your fellow residents can directly choose, authorize and spend these funds for local area improvement. Your participation will create a less corrupt, safer and cleaner Mumbai for all of us. Where is the space? Right here in South Mumbai – its portlands. The portlands are the abandoned remnants of Mumbai Port whose dry cargo activities have largely shifted to the new Jawaharlal Nehru Port (JNPT) across the harbour. These 322 hectares (773 acres) will provide the city of Mumbai space for its much-needed parks, sports fields, cultural centres, schools, colleges and hospitals. I will work to return to Mumbai, these open spaces now occupied by the portlands. This was the pledge made by the late Prime Minister Mrs. Indira Gandhi to the city of her birth, in a Directive of 1980. We call upon every citizen of Mumbai to reclaim this land and to compel the government to deliver on that promise. keÀer Meera Support Meera, convince a voter.

Everyone has the right to live without fear of being evicted. A legally owned home is the first step towards asset building and economic growth for a family. Key to this is wholistic legislation for urban planning and development of our cities to include parks and playgrounds; well-paved, well-lit and clean roads; efficient and modern public transport systems; pedestrian paths; multi-level parking spaces; adequate area for educational institutions and hospitals. Education Promote legislation to allow more schools and colleges to open, and allow market forces to provide quality education to all at affordable prices. Strengthen the public education system through adequate oversight on budgetary allocations and implementation so quality education is available to all, irrespective of caste, religion, or ability to pay. Role & safety of Women, Senior Citizens AAP believes in recognising and harnessing the ability of women and senior citizens and their contribution to the nation’s economy and ensuring their respect and safety. Sensitise police force to the issues of violence against women and senior citizens Introduce more women police officers Make filing of FIR mandatory in case of any complaint regarding violence or sexual harassment of women and senior citizens. Introduce greater safety measures in public transport and improve public lighting. Defend the Right to Freedom of Expression Prevent discrimination and prosecution against anybody on the grounds of their personal opinions and choices pertaining to sex, religion and caste. Reduce Prices by Reducing Corruption Promote Business and Employment by reducing corruption by passing the Jan Lok Pal Bill. Simplify & rationalise rules, regulations to encourage enterprise, create employment for youth. Reduce government interference through greater use of information technology and make interactions with government services corruption-free.
