Baiju Thittala Varkey: Indian origin old hat politician who seeks re-election as councillor from Chesterton again emerges frontrunner in the race
Baiju Thittala Varkey needs no introduction among natives of East Chesterton.
The councillor, who is also a solicitor at a Cambridge law firm, is popular among the mass. His appeal stems from his social activities and its no surprise that there’s a buzz around him amid his re-election bid.
Indian origin Varkey, who has been living in Cambridge since 2004 with his wife and three kids, has emerged as a frontrunner to win the election.
A graduate from Anglia Ruskin University, he was elected for two years as an East Chesterton councillor in 20218 Cambridge City Council by-election.
As a politician, known for espousing humanitarian causes, he has worked extensively on a range of local and city-wide issues such as Black Lives Matter and issues for nurses, refugees, student accommodation, protection of tenants’ rights, and housing matters, to create a fairer society for everyone.
In his words, these causes act as a drive for him to move ahead to fight for various sections of the society.
“I have also campaigned on many other social and political issues with East Chesterton’s hard-working Labour team, Cllr Gerri Bird, Cllr Carla McQueen and County Council Deputy Leader Elisa Meccini,” Varkey told WFY.com.
The politician further spoke about his pledge to turn his visions into realities.
“If elected again as a councillor for East Chesterton, where there are a significant number of social houses, my priority would be to bring more effective policies for social housing issues such as cutting down on the waiting time for housing repairs; and tackling overcrowding. Everyone knows that Cambridge has become very expensive to live in. It is vital to build more houses in Cambridge in order to create affordable housing in the social housing sector,” he added.
According to him, the case of immigrant nurses, who work at Cambridge University Hospitals and in the private care sector, needs to be addressed.
Their plight has become a priority subject for Varkey.
“Nurses have started leaving Cambridge, which threatens to lead to a situation of a shortage of nurses to look after our sick and elderly people. Locally, I will also campaign for a commitment to reducing the speed limit to 20 mph on Elizabeth Way. Furthermore, I commit to work to reduce anti-social behaviours and dangerous driving across East Chesterton,” the politician pointed out.
 For his commitment to work on these civic issues and going by his past performance, Varkey looks all set to win the contest this time again. Again, his re-election can be a source of joy for NRIs, who have been commanding respect even from native Britons because of their credentials and commitment to work for the growth of British society.
First off I would like to say awesome blog! I had a quick question which I’d like to ask if you do not mind. I was interested to find out how you center yourself and clear your head before writing. I’ve had a tough time clearing my thoughts in getting my thoughts out there. I truly do take pleasure in writing but it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are usually wasted just trying to figure out how to begin. Any recommendations or hints? Cheers!
Does your blog have a contact page? I’m having trouble locating it but, I’d like to send you an email. I’ve got some suggestions for your blog you might be interested in hearing. Either way, great website and I look forward to seeing it improve over time.|

Furthermore, i believe that mesothelioma cancer is a extraordinary form of melanoma that is commonly found in people previously familiar with asbestos. Cancerous cells form inside mesothelium, which is a protecting lining that covers the vast majority of body’s organs. These cells normally form from the lining in the lungs, stomach, or the sac that encircles one’s heart. Thanks for revealing your ideas.
I was curious if you ever thought of changing the structure of your website? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having one or two images. Maybe you could space it out better?
Hi, Neat post. There is a problem with your site in internet explorer, would test this? IE still is the market leader and a big portion of people will miss your great writing due to this problem.
