Mumbai: Shiv Sena (UBT), Congress, & NCP ex-corporators swamp outside commissioner’s cabin for BMC’s corpus fund

Mumbai: The BMC has kept a corpus fund of Rs. 900 crores for development works across the city. The fund can be claimed by any Member of Parliament (MP), Member of Legislative Assembly (MLA) or ex-corporator for specific development works.
However, they will need the final approval of the guardian minister, said the senior civic official. The civic decision has upset the ex-corporators of Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA). The delegation of ex-corporators from ShivSena (UBT), Congress and Nationalist Congress party (NCP) met BMC commissioner Iqbal Singh Chahal on Monday, and asked for equal distribution of funds among the representatives.
Use of Corpus fund
Around Rs.3.60 crores of funds is allocated in a budget to every corporator to carry out development works in their respective wards. Currently, there is no elected corporator’s body in place and the BMC is under an administrator’s rule. So being an election year, the BMC has kept Rs.900 crores for several development works in the city. The ex-corporators of MVA, protested against the BMC’s decision on Monday evening.
We will not tolerate discrimination: Shiv Sena (UBT) minister
Former Mayor of Shiv Sena (UBT) Vishwanath Mahadeshwar said, “How can the guardian Minister decide the utilisation of civic funds? The fund should be distributed equally irrespective of party. We will not tolerate any discrimination in distribution of development funds, since we also need to carry out work in our wards. If still, the BMC goes ahead with their plan, then they will have to face an agitation of the ex-corporators.”
Ravi Raja, former Opposition leader of the BMC said, “Instead of giving the power to guardian minister, let the assistant municipal commissioner(AMC) decide about the allocation. The ex-corporators will send their requirement letters of development work in their respective wards to the AMC. Why do you need a guardian minister for it?”
The ex-corporators also protested outside the municipal commissioner’s cabin in BMC headquarters on Monday. Meanwhile, the senior civic official clarified that, “The fund will be distributed without any discrimination between former corporator, MLA or even an MP. Any representative who asks for the fund will be allocated the amount for the specific development works in their respective wards or constituency. But the decision of final approval lies with the guardian minister, he added. Earlier on February 17, Shiv Sena’s (UBT) former corporators had alleged a preferential treatment in the civic budget to 79 former BJP corporator’s wards.

‘Congratulations Trolling Gang…’: Maha BJP Hits Back At Opposition For Sharing Video Of Fadnavis Allegedly Pushing Nagpur Citizen During Floods

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has responded to allegations made by the opposition regarding the alleged manhandling of citizens during Deputy Chief Minister (DCM) Devendra Fadnavis’ visit to Nagpur on Sunday. Videos were released by the BJP to refute these accusations.
During the visit, it was reported that some citizens wanted DCM Fadnavis to visit their homes, but police appeared to prevent them. However, Devendra Fadnavis took the initiative to visit their homes. The party stated that only a selective portion of the video was circulated by the opposition to support their claims.
BJP’s Scathing Response To Opposition
The BJP did not mince words when responding to the opposition’s actions. They congratulated former Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray and the Congress for seemingly prioritising the work of the so-called ‘trolling gang’ over constructive opposition duties.
Viral Video Sparks Controversy
A video of Devendra Fadnavis engaging with distressed citizens in Nagpur went viral on social media platforms. In the footage, he can be seen talking to residents who were expressing their dissatisfaction with the authorities’ response to the city’s flooding crisis. The video takes a controversial turn when Fadnavis appears to forcefully push a man who was attempting to communicate with him.
Opposition Criticises Fadnavis
Maharashtra Congress took to social media to criticize the Deputy CM’s actions, calling him ‘arrogant’ for his behaviour toward citizens reporting flood damage. They questioned whether such actions were indicative of an abuse of power.
Shiv Sena (UBT) also condemned DCM Fadnavis’ actions, labeling them as ‘arrogance of power.’ They emphasized the Deputy CM’s push to a flood-affected citizen asking for help.
Nagpur Gripped by Flooding
The incident occurred amidst severe flooding in Nagpur, Maharashtra’s second capital, caused by relentless rainfall. Thousands of residents were forced to evacuate their homes as floodwaters submerged entire neighbourhoods.
Approximately 10,000 residences were breached by the floodwaters and distressing visuals showed citizens wading through knee-deep water on the streets. Tragically, four lives were lost and at least 400 individuals had to be relocated to safer areas from the affected regions.
