Devendra Fadnavis on a bhoompujan spree, just ahead of the Mumbai Civic Elections
- by Webdesk
- 04 Nov 2016
Barely 4 months to go for the BMC Elections, slated to take place sometime in second week of February 2017, and all parties are doing their bit in wooing the vote bank. In order to stay a step ahead of the opposition, CM Devendra Fadnavis will soon be on a bhoomipujan spree and will set the ball rolling for various infrastructure projects worth Rs. 1 lakh crore.
By starting these long pending infrastructure projects, the Chief Minister wants to project himself as a pro development leader and hopes to garner votes using this image of his in the upcoming elections.
The bhoompujan extravaganza will start from the second week of November and will go on till December. Infact, even Prime Minister Narendra Modi is supposed to come for some of these functions and so are some of his Union Cabinet members.
Among the projects are the coastal road, the CSTPanvel and Bandra-Virar elevated corridor, the Shivaji memorial in the Arabian Sea, and the Mumbai Trans Harbour Link (MTHL).
Meanwhile, 500 wifi spots in the city will also be thrown open for the public to use in the second week of November.
Their launch will set the tone for the BJP for the civic elections, and as these projects are expected to be completed by 2019, they will be promoted at the time of the assembly elections.
During his interactions with the media, Fadnavis has said that his government has sanctioned 150 kilometres of Metro lines in the city and the metropolitan region in just two years of coming to power, while it took 8 years for the previous government to approve 10 kilometres of metro network in the city .
