We often blame the government offices and their officials
for being laid back and we for sure hate it when our work gets postponed
because of their laziness. Few years back people in Mumbai of the North-West
constituency were facing a fairly similar problem. The people of this area were
struggling to get their conveyance deed and property cards done for the last 29
years. 29 years- yes indeed! Common people could not find out a solution for
this long!
In the 2009 Lok Sabha elections, Gurudas Kamat ji campaigned
from Mumbai’s North West constituency, and promised the citizens of Nagri
Nivara, in Goregaon East that he would help them win their struggle of 29
years. He promised that if he gets elected he will ensure the conveyance within
a year.
Leaders are often seen making tall promises around election
time but Kamat ji was different. He knew the problems of the people and was
determined to solve their woes. And as mentioned earlier, unlike others, Kamat
ji delivered his promise without any terms and conditions and without fooling
the people. A task that was incomplete for last 29 years leading to lack of
clear title for these residents, Mr. Kamat through his unwavering initiative
ensured that conveyance was done before his first year in office was over.
In a grand function on April 11th, 2010, the collector
handed the conveyance deeds to Nagri Nivara Societies.
This is one of the examples of Kamat ji’s dedication and
sincerity towards his work. He knows the needs of the people and his policies
are developed keeping the same in mind. Our country needs leaders like Gurudas
Kamat to steer the whole growth and empowerment process in the right direction.
