In the last blog ( http://bit.ly/GurudasKamatMP ) I discussed how the dedication and sincerity of
Gurudas Kamat ji got the residents of Nagri Nivara, in Goregaon East their conveyance
deed and property cards for which they were fighting for 29 years. This
connectivity with the people is what differentiates Mr. Kamat from other
politicians. For years he has been hosting Janta Darbars where he meets with
the residents of different areas, listens to all their woes and tries resolving
them too.

Janta Darbars with Gurudas Kamat in Mumbai |
This is no publicity stunt but
it is public service meant for the betterment of common public. This style of
politics is what helps Kamat ji to understand the needs and wants of the people
belonging to his constituency (North West Mumbai).
With the slogan “Apke
Khaasdar Apke Dwar and Apke Khaasdar Apke Dwaar Phir Ek Baar,"
Kamat ji
meets his constituents on a regular basis in their respective areas to ensure
that no issues go unattended.
He meets with his constituents and people from all over Mumbai and from different parts of Maharashtra on the weekends (Saturday and Sunday) from 9:30 AM till the last visitor has had the opportunity to meet him. People are informed via SMS and pamphlets in their respective areas. It is true that real heroes work behind the camera and Gurudas Kamat has been consistently executing this for his last 5 terms in office since 1984 and it is indeed exceptional.
His mission of being accessible to all is being
fulfilled with these Janta Darbars. Also, his mission of brother-hood, peace
and harmony is translated in true senses in these Darbars.
