It occurred for the primary time within the historical past of BMC that the workplace of a minister in command of Mumbai was opened in BMC headquarters. After the opening of Mangal Prabhat Lodha’s workplace in BMC, the query is whether or not Mangal Prabhat Lodha’s new workplace in BMC will turn out to be the brand new political base of BJP?
We’re asking this query as a result of each week, Monday-Friday, sooner or later every, former BJP councilors will resolve public complaints by sitting on this workplace twice a day, morning and night. That too when the places of work of the events have been closed by the BMC commissioner 7 months in the past.
Former BJP councilor stated this
Former BJP councilor Rajeshree Shirwadkar stated {that a} good initiative has been taken by Mangal Prabhat Lodha. Greater than a 12 months has handed. Administrator’s rule in BMC. Mumbaikars are apprehensive. We are going to sit right here and work to resolve the issues of the folks. Mangal Prabhat Lodha by no means stated that corporators from different events can not come right here.
He stated that if the previous councilors of the opposition events additionally need to come right here and take heed to the issues of the folks, then they will come right here. We won’t have any downside with them, however the reality is that the work of some folks is simply to make allegations. They don’t have anything to do with the issues of the folks. Nehal Shah stated that Mangal Prabhat Lodha can not come right here all the times of the week. That is why now we have been instructed to sit down within the workplace and discover a answer after listening to the issues of the folks.
What do opposition leaders should say?
Congress MLA Aslam Sheikh stated, “Let’s open our workplace in BMC, does he need to turn out to be a corporator?” It has by no means occurred {that a} foster minister opens an workplace in BMC like this. I used to be additionally a foster minister, however we didn’t do that, if the councilors are coming there and marking attendance, then open the workplace for all of the events.
Shiv Sena (UBT) spokesperson Anand Dubey stated that places of work of BJP leaders and former corporators are being cleverly arrange within the head workplace of Mumbai Municipal Company. However, the places of work of different events have been closed. How the workplace of Guardian Minister of Mumbai Suburban Mangal Prabhat Lodha was allotted in BMC workplace can be a matter of shock. Why is the administrator, authorities and BJP utterly ignoring the opposition. Is there any respect left for democracy, structure or not?
