Alleges that contractors are manipulating figures, vows to act against the negligent

BJP MLA Ashish Shelar at a nullah in Bandra West on Friday.
In the wake of Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Aaditya Thackeray`s corruption allegations against the BMC with regard to road-related work, the BJP has stated that the civic body`s cleaning of nullahs is not up to the mark. It also claimed that only 30 per cent of desilting work has been completed as opposed to the 79 per cent claimed by the administration.
According to the BMC, as of May 12, almost 80 per cent of nullah sanitisation work, including cleaning the Mithi river as well as roadside gutters, has been finished. A few BJP MLAs, including Ashish Shelar and Amit Satam, and former corporators Prabhakar Shinde and Bhalachandra Shirsat took a look at drains in the western suburbs on Friday in the presence of civic officials.
