She earned the sobriquet ''Paaniwali Bai'' (water lady) for her effort to bring drinking water supply to [[Goregaon]], a North [[Mumbai]] suburb.<ref name="The Hindu Obituary"/> She led many protests along with her contemporaries [[Ahilya Rangnekar]] and [[Pramila Dandavate]].<ref name="The Hindu Obituary"/> She was the leader of opposition in [[Maharashtra Legislative Assembly]]<ref name="The Hindu Obituary"/> and elected to 6th [[Lok Sabha]] from [[Mumbai North (Lok Sabha constituency)]] in 1977. When she was elected MP in 1977, the same election that [[Indira Gandhi]] lost, the popular slogan was ''Paaniwali bai Dilli mein, Dilliwali bai paani mein'', meaning the water lady (Mrinal) has reached Delhi (Parliament) but the Delhi lady (Indira Gandhi) is in the water. She declined the offer of Health Ministry by then Prime Minister [[Morarji Desai]]. She is survived by her daughter Anjali Vartak.
Mrinal Gore was arrested on December 21, 1975 and detained under MISA at Bombay Central Prison. Then she was moved to Akola Jail to completely isolate her from other political detainees. She was put in one barract which had one door but no window at all. A criminal with advanced stage of leprosy was put in adjoining cell while a violent lunatic female prisoner was in opposite cell. This was obviously done to torture Mrs Gore physically and mentally.
