SATISH JAIN’S PARIVARTAN YATRA EVOKES MASSIVE PUBLIC RESPONSE IN NORTH MUMBAI

Mumbai: The two day Parivartan Yatra undertaken by Satish Jain, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Lok Sabha candidate from North Mumbai recently ended with thousands of residents cutting across socio economic segments coming out in his support. The yatra that included a fleet of cars and bikes, criss-crossed through Malad, Kandivali, Borivali and Dahisar and marked the participation of Raghu Ram of Roadies and television star Mona Ambegaonkar.

“Our campaign is gaining ground with each passing day. We are sensing an undercurrent amongst the voters and a cognizable shift of balance in our favour. In the last seven days there has been a spurt in volunteer enrollment and public participation in our rallies,” says Satish Jain, an alumnus of IIM Bangalore and one of Asia’s leading fund managers who quit his lucrative job to join full time politics.

The Parivartan Yatra was undertaken to highlight the need for change in Indian polity. For the first time in Mumbai, voters have been presented with an alternative, as against a substitute, to the kind of politics practiced by parties like Congress and BJP. 

One of the youngest political parties, AAP was launched a year back to rid the corruption and rot that has set into the system. “Traditional political parties have an interest in maintaining the status quo. Their office bearers, whether BJP, Congress or SP, are career politicians whose only source of income is fixing and brokering with police, municipality and other statutory agencies. How can anything change if the same set of people are re-elected into Government,” questions Satish Jain.

“Decades of mismanagement and corruption are responsible for the current plight of the nation. With a little bit of political will and integrity of intent we can improve the quality of our lives. We are pushing for the creation of systems that will punish any politician, irrespective of party affiliations, who indulges in corruption. Every single addition to Parliament from our party will put that much more pressure on the Government to stay clean” says the 45-year old AAP candidate.

Part of the core team that developed the manifesto and economic policy of AAP, Satish was also responsible for exposing the recent electricity scam in Maharashtra. His 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 of Asia, Satish’s career spanned eighteen years in the financial sector and included stints with Morgan Stanley and HDFC as Executive Director and Portfolio Manager. 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.

APPLYING THE PRINCIPLES OF MANAGEMENT IN POLITICS

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.

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.
