About Deepaq Silan

Meet Deepaq Silan – A young activist and leader from South Mumbai. Deepaq has served as the President of the Colaba Malayalee Assocation, and as young citizen who was born and brought up in Mumbai, he has been a part of our citizens’ struggles since childhood. From studying in Mumbai’s Army School and graduating from St. Josephs’, Deepaq has spent his life in both – the slums and the high-rises of Mumbai. Deepaq envisions a clean, safer and a more inclusive city for all. “There is a saying that, when faced with adversity, everyone in life comes to a point wherein they stop and decide to give up, but for me – adversity is what pushes me to fight for the change that is necessary.” As a young leader, Deepaq has vehemently protested against the dilapidated state of toilets in Mumbai, has been a part of campaigns to protect the rights of government employees like ST bus drivers, and has been working actively to improve the supply of basic civic amenities such as water and electricity in his ward.

Vision for Mumbai

The Aam Aadmi Party has not only worked for the poor, but also garnered the support of the affluent classes, by delivering outcome-oriented governance and putting in the work where it matters – behind essential public services like affordable healthcare, quality education, and provisions of electricity & water without increasing the tax burden of the public. In fact, costs of living have sizably reduced in Delhi under the AAP Government.

“A commoner today earns about 10,000/- per month, and they cannot afford proper education for their child, or quality healthcare for their parents. But the common people of Mumbai are immensely spirited, and fight every day to ensure that their families have a better life. It is within the BMC’s ability and responsibility to ensure this betterment, but Mumbai has been failed repeatedly by its government.”

Deepaq believes that Mumbai needs AAP because the AAP is unique – in the sense that it has actually delivered results on the ground and remained accountable to the people in Delhi, unlike the parties in power in the BMC. The AAP’s idea of being in power is to work for the people, and let that work speak for itself.
