Mumbai: A post graduate
from the prestigious B-school, IIM Bangalore, Aam Aadmi Party’s (AAP) nominee
for Lok Sabha from North Mumbai, Satish Jain has announced his plans of
applying text book management principles to make the constituency one of the
most progressive in the world.
Satish Jain’s
entry into politics is preceded by an impressive track record in the financial
sector. Rated by many surveys as one of the top fund managers in India,
Satish’s career that spanned eighteen years has included stints with Morgan
Stanley and HDFC as Executive Director and Portfolio Manager.
“Building
structures, systems and procedures are my core strengths. If I get elected as
the Member of Parliament (MP) from this constituency, I will adopt a
professional approach for identifying issues and solving them. I will develop
systems using state of the art technology to enable each and every resident
approach me and discuss their concerns, disputes and ideas,” says the
45-year-old AAP candidate.
While Mumbai
North has been one of the most prestigious constituencies that was once
represented by V K Krishna Menon and from where Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar had
sought representation, in terms of progress it remains one of the most backward
and underdeveloped constituencies of Mumbai.
“It is sheer
mis-management and lack of proper representation that is responsible for the
chaos that marks this constituency. The pandemonium at railway stations during
peak hours, the non-availability of bus or rickshaws from (and to) railway
stations to homes, nonexistent traffic maintenance, lack of east-west
connectivity and lack of educational infrastructure are some of the problems
that ail this constituency. With a little political will and application of the
mind these problems can be easily solved,” adds Satish Jain. “If animals were
crammed in a Mumbai train, as humans are travelling now, I am sure Society for
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals would have found it objectionable, and
justifiably so.”
Allied
with Arvind Kejriwal since the India Against Corruption (IAC) movement and
inspired by the same, Satish Jain has quit his lucrative career to join full
time politics. He has been working
extensively on the economic policy and manifesto for AAP and was responsible
for exposing the Rs. 22,000/- crore electricity scam in Maharashtra. He is one
of the 317 candidates fielded by AAP for the current Lok
Sabha elections. Other prominent leaders fielded by the party in Mumbai
include, Mayank Gandhi, Mumbai North West, Medha Patkar, Mumbai North East, Meera
Sanyal, Mumbai South
