i would support Kirit for his personal activism in Mumbai from time to time and not because he is from BJP or to support Modi. In fact Kirit is only ex Mp who has always taken up issues of public interest whether it was Mithi river after 2005 deluge or earlier during Harshad Mehtas time small investors grievances issues and now adarsh exposes etc. Though even with kirit i have a complain that possibly he got sold and left Mithi river issue half way without bothering to see that phase 3 of project got completed by removal of encroachments. Medha is a cheat and all her activism is for publicity again leaving matter without getting it logical end. Read this and u will know Tai a bluff-master. Promises made during Agitation of Azad Maidan on 14th October, 2008 was neither kept by Govt. nor by activist. 1. After 8 days fast, Agitators met the State Home Minister and Deputy Chief Minister Shri R.R. Patil and later the State Rehabilitation Minister, Shri Patangrao Kadam and had a detailed discussion on many of the issues and Shri Kadam took a decision to institute a high level official investigation by the Secretaries of the concerned Ministries, including the Revenue, Rehabilitation, Forests and Irrigation Departments.

All these decisions were taken in the presence of displaced farmers and adivasis and Medha Patkar, Ulka Mahajan and other activists.
