With the BMC elections only days away, politicians are leaving no stone unturned to woo their vote banks. The slums surrounding the city’s international airport also house one of the biggest vote banks for former MLA and Congress leader Arif Naseem Khan. Khan, who claims there is no link between his work and BMC election, met the MMRDA chief UPS Madan, on December 6, along with the slum dwellers and gave an ultimatum about going on a massive protest if complete rehabilitation is not done by March.
