I was impressed reading “London Mayoral Election: Campaign begins” by Yogesh Patel, under community news section. It was well written, informative yet humorous piece easy to read. It seems Labour’s Sadiq Khan is ahead in polls. So now onus is on Zac Goldsmith to placate, to gain trust and support of the ethnic minorities who may decide his fate.
Under Jeremy Corbin, Labour has moved away from British Indian community, following in the foot-steps of his predecessor Ed Miliband. Labour’s reluctant to engage whole heartedly in welcoming popular Indian PM Modi has given Zac golden opportunity to corner Indian vote bank that may be crucial in close run election.
Boris Johnson placating Indian and Jewish community paid handsome dividend in defeating popular, enigmatic Red Ken who’s biased, prejudice approach alienated Indian and Jewish voters. Indian community should make specific demands incorporated in their election manifesto before pledging their support to either candidate.
Hindu crematorium should un-equivocatingly be top of our wish-list, glaring neglect of community’s need by all pernicious Hobbesian politicians, exacerbating our pain, unable to say final farewell to departing family members in friendly, sympathy surroundings that may comfort family and friends in their hour of need. This is golden opportunity to unite for good of our community.
