Navi Mumbai Citizens Demand Written Guarantees From Candidates
In Navi Mumbai, a group called Sajag Nagrik Manch is asking people running for office to promise in writing to do certain things if they get elected.
They want these promises to be legally binding, so the candidates can't just say things and then forget about them.
The group has put up banners around the city to spread the word.
They want candidates to promise to listen to what people want, show how they spend money, and make sure schools and hospitals are good.
They even have a slogan: 'No Stamp Paper, No Vote,' meaning they won't vote for anyone who doesn't make these written promises.
This is because people are tired of candidates making big promises before elections and then not doing what they said.
Sajag Nagrik Manch demands written, legally binding guarantees from candidates for the upcoming Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation elections.
The forum urges voters to seek written affidavits or sworn declarations from candidates detailing their development commitments.
Key demands include transparency in spending, quality civic works, and a ban on municipal contracts awarded to corporators or their relatives.
The campaign slogan is 'No Stamp Paper, No Vote,' insisting on written 'development guarantees' on Rs 100 stamp paper.
The initiative aims to introduce a new culture of transparency, accountability, and voter empowerment in local body elections.
