400 crore proposal cleared within 15 minutes by BMC which otherwise takes days
- by Webdesk
- 08 Oct 2016
With BMC Polls 2017 just four months away, the Sena-BJP led standing committee of the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) cleared proposals worth Rs. 400 crores in just 15 minutes. The proposals were related to maintenance of jet suction machine used for sewarage cleaning, road repairs and improvement of the water pipeline network in the city.
Usually, the corporators spend hours discussing on a single proposal. But on Wednesday, none of them showed any interest in checking the necessity of these proposals. This paved way of about 50 proposals including some earlier week pending proposals, being passed in a jiffy. Last week, on the same proposals which were pending, the corporators had debated for over 2 hours but on Wednesday, it was passed with lightening speed.
A senior civic official said, “It seems the corporators are focusing on the elections and trying to lure people with new project announcements. Before the code of conduct comes into effect, the ruling alliance wants to pass as many proposals as they can. Also, several ribbon-cutting ceremonies by political leaders have been lined up in the days to come.”
SP group leader Rais Shaikh said, “We are tired of Sena-BJP’s game of political benefit. During the assembly, as well as parliament elections, the Standing Committee behaved similarly to lure the voters. Clearing maximum development projects before elections is a political move to get the edge in civic elections.”
