Looking at the issues of Mumbai and Marathi, I challenge to have an open debate at Shivaji Park grounds against any politician. I am a naturalised Maharashtrian and can speak/read/write better Marathi than any local.
The issues faced every day by a common Mumbaikar are :
01) Water availability
02) Hygienic living conditions and
03) Comfortable commute
Any other issue is ridiculous. Mumbai has equal job opportunities, space to live and courage to unite. If one is a politician - irrespective of whether in power or poosition - I would like to know, what the person has done with his own hands. Dividing people is easy, I can do it with my oratory skills.

If there are 10 trainloads of bhaiyyas coming in every day, where do you think the water is going to come from to feed the population? This applies to all the resources needed for the city. The basic problem is the failed states of UP and Bihar. The result is the en-masse migration to Mumbai. And how do you propose we handle them, give them our homes and land and start speaking the bhaiyya language?

There is a difference between being powerful and having a nuisance value. The current politicians have more of the later !

no politician will ever come face to face with the common man in a debate because he/she knows they will be slammed.

Isn't it a time, we guys enter politics ? Coutry has given us enough, now is the payback time.
