As the General Election in Mumbai approaches its climax, residents and citizen groups across the city are actively participating in the electoral process by presenting their own manifestos to candidates from various political parties in their respective constituencies. They are demanding concrete solutions to the issues outlined in their submissions or requesting a clear time line for addressing their concerns.

One such citizen group, the Chandivali Citizens Welfare Association, has taken the initiative to draft its own manifesto titled, “Chandivali cha manifesto”. The Mumbai North-Central constituency comprises of six assembly seats, including Bandra East and West, Kalina, Vile Parle, Kurla, and Chandivali. The Indian National Congress has nominated Varsha Gaikwad, the incumbent MLA from Dharavi, as its candidate for Mumbai North-Central, while the BJP has opted for a change by replacing its two-time MP Poonam Mahajan with Ujjwal Nikam, renowned for his role as the public prosecutor in the trial of Pakistani terrorist Ajmal Kasab for his involvement in the 26/11 attacks and other terror cases.
