The Congress can claim credit for the Government recently clearing the funds to revamp the stormwater drainage infrastructure for deluged Mumbai, following the Prime Minister8217;s promise to suffering Mumbaikars last year. However, the way the party8217;s city chief Gurudas Kamat is going about taking credit for the project, whose outcome will only be visible in four years8217; time, is not only amusing but also reflective of the growing importance of babus. Hoardings have been put up across the city bearing Kamat8217;s beaming face, outlining his efforts to ensure the Brimstowad short for Brihanmumbai Storm Water Drainage project got the Centre8217;s green signal. Kamath8217;s hoarding claims that apart from Chief Minister Vilasrao Deshmukh, another important person thanked him for his efforts: the state8217;s Chief Secretary.
