Know-your-neta-02-10-2014-leadThere is no renowned face in Vile Parle to challenge the sitting MLA Krishna Hedge. Hedge is a popular leader in this constituency and has done several developmental work. BJP has fielded Parag Alavani while Shashikant Patkar will be contesting from Shiv Sena ticket. The other candidates include Suhas Shinde from MNS and Yogesh Indulkar from NCP. Voters are aware about Parag Alavani and Shashikant Patkar but none of them recognises Sushas Shinde and Yogesh Indulkar.

Earlier, ex-corporator Parag Alavani and his wife Jyoti, a corporator, had quit BJP but they rejoined the party before Lok Sabha election. However, the banners in Vile-Parle announced that Mr Alawani had first tried to enter the Shiv Sena and the MNS and returned to the BJP only after those parties did not entertain him.

On the other hand, Shashikant Patkar has acquired several flats in the western suburbs of Mumbai on the basis of bogus ration cards. These flats were acquired by Patkar under the Slum Rehabilitation Authority (SRA) project, which his own construction firm has undertaken.

Earlier Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray was planning to contest the assembly elections from one of two constituencies in Mumbai Dadar or Vile Parle. Later he did a rethink on his decision.

Krishna Hegde had helped secure Bhavesh Parmar’s release from a Pakistani prison, and British activist Jas Uppal. Bhavesh Parmar, a resident of Vile Parle suburb in northwest Mumbai, went missing in 2005 after he lost his father to cancer and was himself sacked from job.
