'Independents can be the voice of conscience'

Dolphy D'Souza, Independent candidate from the Malad (W) constituency, speaks to Sanjeev Devasia about the need for well-meaning people in politics

Why are you contesting as an independent?
Established parties prefer candidates with money and muscle power to those with an education. Instead of complaining, I decided to contest as an Independent. There is a need for well-meaning people in politics.
I believe Independents can be the voice of conscience.u00a0

How will you fight established parties?
I am associated with u00a0Jagore Nagrik Manch, a citizen's movement, and u00a0I'm the president of the Bombay Catholic Sabha. Over 90 NGOs will campaign for me.
