In the Ghatkopar East Assembly constituency, BJP MLA Parag Shah is seeking another term amid growing calls for change in a seat that the BJP has controlled for over 30 years. With high-rise developments rapidly transforming the neighbourhood, residents face challenges such as parking, traffic congestion, water shortages, and pollution. Parag Shah, who previously served as a corporator, is confident in his track record and the BJP’s continued support from the electorate.

Commitment beyond election promises

Shah has a clear stance on his role as an MLA, stating, "I don’t give ‘election-time’ promises to people. My team and I are working for the community round the clock, and our commitment remains constant." Emphasising the work already done, Shah explained that he established a complaint redressal system via WhatsApp to swiftly address local issues. He noted that, on numerous occasions, his team resolved matters before authorities could even intervene.
