PRATIK PARAB
After the rebellion in ward 17 Elvis Fernandes, Rupesh Mahatme, Dhananjay Mayenkar and Anil Manohar Amonkar are going to go head-to-head into a four-cornered fight.
Of these, Anil Amonkar (28) has also filed candidature from this ward. Amidst all the politics Amonkar is one candidate who does not command any political backing or patronage. “I don’t have any political backing. The people have lost faith in political parties as for several years now there has been no proper development at all. Malbhat is the same what it used to be 60 years ago. I have consulted people before contesting the elections,” said Amonkar.
Sachin Satardekar from ward 19 is also a simple and a hardworking person. “I have been working for the people of my area for years together. I don’t understand big promises and big talk. I know and believe that I have worked and will work for the betterment of the people. I am an orphan and I know how it is to be helped by someone,” said Satardekar.
Wenceslao Fernandes in ward 10, Narmada Kundaikar in ward 9 and Kaustubh Kanekar of BJP in ward 22, Vincent Barretto in ward 23 and Nevin Gomes in ward 20 and Cedric Da Costa in ward 19 are some of the names of candidates who are in their youth and have taken a leap of hope towards contesting the MMC election this year.
