Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Aaditya Thackeray on Wednesday requested Maharashtra Governor Ramesh Bais to ahead his petition concerning `corrupt practices’ in the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) to the Lokayukta.
In a letter to the governor, Thackeray reminded Bais of his assembly with a Shiv Sena (UBT) delegation on May 10 the place this problem was mentioned.
“We urge you to intervene and ask the BMC not to give the charity of advance mobilization fund of Rs 600 crore to contractors,” he stated.
The mega tender for roads in the town have to be scrapped and a brand new tender needs to be issued with transparency when a brand new elected basic physique is in place or beneath the supervision of a committee of retired judges, Aaditya Thackeray demanded.
Elections to the BMC, India’s richest civic physique, are due for greater than a yr.
The BMC appeared to be in a rush to waste individuals’s cash or was being compelled to accomplish that earlier than civic elections had been held, the letter stated.
Advance mobilization fund is normally supplied for greenfield works and freeway initiatives and by no means in a metropolis like Mumbai the place not even 25 of the 900 deliberate street works have began, and it’s a legal waste of taxpayers’ cash, the Sena (UBT) chief stated.
