Room 516 of the Aakashwani MLA Hostel was just like any other room until its occupant Padmakar Valvi decided to look for greener pastures. So angry Congressmen decided to give it a complete makeover.Paper clippings of his defection are plastered all over the walls. There is graffiti on the main door and the board outside. Paan and gutkha-chewing Congressmen stand guard waiting for Valvi to arrive.The room with all the graffiti can very well serve as a Valvi archive — it gives information on anything you wanted to know about his defection. And it is not a problem if you cannot read Marathi. The information is also available in Hindi, Gujarati and English.
