The issue surrounding the Amar Mahal station has taken on increasingly political overtones. Following the NCP’s stance, Prakash Phatarpekar, the Shiv Sena (UBT) leader and local MLA from Chembur, has sent letters of appeal to Chief Minister Eknath Shinde and Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, urging the restoration of the station.

However, Phatarpekar appears to have misconstrued the situation, believing that the station has been relocated to Suman Nagar. In reality, both the Amar Mahal and Suman Nagar stations have been omitted. Despite this misunderstanding, Phatarpekar has raised valid concerns regarding commuters, local connectivity, and Chembur residents in light of the entire issue.
