And this is not the first time Munde has woken up to a reality rather late in the day. Throughout the killing spree that Mumbai witnessed in the past few months, Munde had rather cussedly maintained that law and order situation in the metropolis was under control. It took an unprecendented event of a shootout at the crowded Bandra station and an admonition by the chief minister to change his mind. And following his public admission on the law and order, it's imperative now that he take some concrete steps. It would be a good idea to start with his relationship with the chief minister. Both have contradicted each other on vital issues for far too long. It's time for the alliance partners to forget their differences and steer the government in the right direction. A lot has to be done to restore Mumbai police to its former glory. Closing down a couple of ladies bar just alone is not enough.
