The Maharashtra Election was something I was taking some intrest in, though I am not sure whether it was worth the time. Really. It's not like the overall result bothers me .. (strangely, it does not .. whichever party came to power the state of the state would have been the same). However theres this dull feeling of restlessness within me which I sense increasing as I think about politics whether in Pune, Maharashtra, India or the US.
Heres a parting shot. [Arun Gawli got elected]. [.. The tally did not include his (Gawli's) vote because he refused to step out after seeing an 'encounter specialist', Senior Inspector Vijay Salaskar, posted outside his home in Dagdi Chawl, south Mumbai].
Here are the constituency wise results. [Its fun to read aliases that they have listed .. e.g. Arun Gulab Gawli Alias Daddy]

Bhai Thakur - Hitendra Vishnu Thakur - Vasai
are the 2 prominent criminals who have won in the MH MLA elections this year.These guys are involved in killing people,drugs,smuggling and flesh trade.
These are our future MLAs.It is ironic that these guys are elected.Let alone being elected.How they got a ticket is another ballgame altogether.
Go Sox, Go Pats, Go Kerry !!!

So true in this case.
Posted by: kickstart at October 27, 2004 11:15 AMThis is exteremely frustating, especially the last sentence of the Gawali news .. "In the days to come, he will be in a position to issue orders to Salaskar and other members of the police force"
:(
