Finally the long Election process is over and results are out. Shivsena (UBT) and MVA candidate Shri Arvind Sawant, the incumbent MP, was re-elected in a heatedly contested poll. Many people have opinions about why the results were what they are, but the reality is that Shri Arvind Sawant won the election for the third time in a row to represent the South Mumbai seat in Parliament. Congratulations to him and his teammates.
Malabar Hill voted overwhelmingly for BJP Alliance, as seen by the election results listed below. It is positive news for BJP supporters that Shri Narendra bhai Modi will serve the country as Prime Minister for the third time. Good wishes to him!

This is the first time precise election statistics of our neighbourhood have been collected and published for information of residents. Political parties use this exercise to determine where they stand, but they never share it with anyone; it is for their records. Residents have appreciated the numbers presented in the previous editions. We will restart ‘People on the Hills’ on the cover page from the next issue.
