London: The Indian-origin candidate who is in the race to challenge Sadiq Khan to win the post of mayor of London for the third time says that the citizens of the British capital have been let down by all the major political parties and he wants to see London as a city. Want to run like an 'experienced CEO'. “That benefits everyone.
Delhi-born Tarun Gulati believes his experience as a businessman and investment expert is what London needs to revive its fortunes as the "world's global bank" by attracting the needed investment.
The 63-year-old is standing as an independent candidate among 13 contestants in the local elections on May 2, when Londoners will vote for mayor and members of the London Assembly.
"I see London as a unique global city, akin to 'the world's global bank' where diverse cultures come together to flourish," Gulati said in a speech this week.,
“As Mayor, I will build London's balance sheet to make it the first choice for investment, safeguarding security and prosperity for all its residents. I will transform London effectively and efficiently like an experienced CEO And I will run London as a profitable corporation where profitability means well-being for all. Let's do this for our London, our home."
Safety on the city's streets is another of his key priorities, with visible community policing and more officers on patrol.
“It's about having enough bobbies on the beat, having resources for police officers to do their job; Which means making roads safe for women to walk at night, catching robbers and thieves and punishing them,” he said.Gulati's policy is also to eliminate some of the unpopular policies of current Labor Party leader Sadiq Khan, such as the Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) charge and the high costs associated with citywide Low Traffic Neighborhoods (LTNs).
“We didn't want ULEZs, LTNs or 20mph speed limits and lots of other bad policies. Climate change is happening and we need to mitigate its effects, but it's not just everyone 15 minutes from home. This cannot be done by penalizing passengers for staying in or in less public areas." transportation. The changes we need to make should be in line with public opinion, not arbitrarily imposed on people dealing with the cost of living,” said Gulati, who has called London home for 20 years.He is equally scathing about the Conservative Party's mayoral candidate, Susa Hall, whom he claims failed to stop the mayor's controversial policies despite being a London Assembly member for many years.
“I would not run for mayor if political candidates were doing what they should be doing. He has disappointed us. It's all about London and Londoners,” he declared.
Creating more affordable housing, reducing council tax, increasing tourism focus in the UK capital and ensuring free school meals are among some of Gulati's other focus areas. He claims to have campaigned from borough to borough across London to gather the necessary signatures in support of his mayoral candidacy.Ghulati is also included in the official mini manifesto booklet, which costs each candidate 10,000 GBP.
The winning mayoral candidate will be responsible for all local issues affecting Londoners, from transport and policing to housing and the environment.
