Elections in SBBJ used to be a dull and drab affair with Sanghi and company always sweeping the polls and winning by huge margins. In my fifteen years in SBBJ (1985-2000) I remember only one election when a viable opposition had come up but they lost because the opposition was from more or less people with similar attitude who had cobbled up a team against Sanghi because they were not getting the taste of power which Sanghi dominated through distribution of assignments to his stooges.
Sanghi also had the power backing of the Jains, who blindly voted for him against assurances of plum assignments.
The 2009 elections appear to be going in a different direction. As already done in SBH, the group which is openly pro merger is challenging the hegomony of the Sanghi group and for the first time the Sanghi camp is actually jittery.
My friend Sanjoy is part of the team which has put up the challenge and I really appreciate the guts these new faces in SBBJ politics have exhibited.
Sanjoy and his team have the right agenda and designs and it would be interesting to see if the officers of SBBJ can see beyond caste and petty assignments.
Best wishes to Sanjoy and his entire team.
Manoj
