OJ Janeesh, the 'baby' of the UDF cabinet at age 37, fought against life's challenges and obstacles while being raised largely by a single mother who depended on MNREGA wages. Janeesh was studying polytechnic course when he got the phone call that his father had collapsed and died at the local bar where he worked. Janeesh did odd jobs as a security guard and internet cafe worker to fund his studies including law degree.

"In our neighbourhood, a single photocopy now costs Rs 10-15, up from the usual Rs 2, because of the SIR." Most of us will never understand the pain this SIR has unleashed on migrant workers who are used to working on sick days to make sure they don't lose wage. Here they have lost days worth of earnings in trying to prove that they are Indian citizens — because that's what this exercise has turned into. The Supreme Court may casually say well they can vote next time but they have no clue what an identity crisis the SIR has unleashed on ground. People feel they will be deported, sent to Bangladesh or won’t find work if they are struck off the voter list — and they are right because this is what they face in Delhi or Gurgaon.
