It seems that Chief Minister Eknath Shinde’s party members are dead set against realising his dream of a spotless Mumbai. A profusion of garish banners featuring his faction’s leaders was seen on Thursday at two spots picked out for the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation’s ambitious deep cleaning drive.
On December 31, mid-day visited seven of the 10 spots where the civic body kicked off the drive in Shinde’s presence. The BMC has successfully managed to keep three spots— Veermata Jijabai Bhosale Botanical Udyan and Zoo, Sadakant Dhavan Maidan in Naigaon and the Shiv Shrushti area of Kurla West—free of illegal hoardings. However, at Hiranandani Gardens, 14 illegal banners were found, and except for three, all featured MLA Dilip Lande, a member of the Shinde Sena. Also, two banner gates had been erected right on the road welcoming Shinde to the township.
