Some time ago, this paper has stated that Mumbai would once again be festooned in political posters because the festive season is upon us. Ganpati, (now over) followed by Navratri and Diwali followed by New Year, means it is celebration time for the city.

Mumbai’s walls are once again plastered with different hoardings featuring the familiar and tiresome mugshots of politicians across all parties. We had an absolute blitzkrieg this Ganesh festival; like always, and right now, too, we see the city has hordes of posters from all party persons.
