The Mumbai unit of the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) is looking for 10 loyal supporters in each of the 227 municipal wards in Mumbai. The reason?

The party wants to order each of these 2,270 men and women to refer 10 relatives and close friends who are voters in the Mumbai North East Lok Sabha constituency so that by the time the 2014 elections come around, they are assured of several thousand additional votes in the only Mumbai LS seat that the party holds.
