Blind political candidate Rajesh Dayal seeks to bring the common man's perspective in the upcoming national elections

Wed, 04/03/2019 - 11:52 -- geeta.nair

Rajesh Bishambahr Dayal is looking to make his mark in the upcoming general elections from Mumbai. A visually impaired person, Dayal is contesting as an Independent from the South Mumbai constituency. A Mumbaikar by birth, Dayal says he is clued into the struggles faced by common people and wants to speak for them.

Dayal is in for some tough competition. The South Mumbai seat is a prestigious one, with political heavyweights like Milind Deora of the Congress party and Arvind Sawant from the Shiv Sena pitted against each other. Dayal lacks their funding or mass appeal but is confident that he alone brings the aam aadmi's perspective. He is contesting as a representative of the Durbal Ghatak Agadi that is dedicated to the welfare of those who are poor and in need.

Dayal lost his vision in 1997 in an accident. His life changed dramatically but that made him more determined to not give up. A school dropout, he decided to complete his education after he lost his vision. He is currently
pursuing a bachelor's degree in social work.
