Uddhav Thackeray’s 15 years made BMC became the most corrupt body in Asia: Shrikant Shinde
Shinde, son of Maharashtra CM, Eknath Shinde, questioned as to why the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) had acquired body bags during the COVID-19 period at a cost of Rs 6,719 per bag whereas the same body bags were bought for Rs 350 by the Thane Municipal Corporation (TMC).

"How is it possible that TMC buys dead body bags at Rs 350 per bag and BMC buys those same bags at more than Rs 6,500 per bag? This is just one of the many instances of how the Thackeray family has looted Mumbaikars when people were dying," Shinde alleged.
During the ‘Shakha Sampark’ drive of Shiv Sena, Shiv Sena leader and Lok Sabha MP Dr Shrikant Shinde launched a scathing attack on former Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray and son Aaditya alleging that the Thackerays looted Mumbaikars at every step over the last 15 years.
Shinde, son of Maharashtra CM, Eknath Shinde, questioned as to why the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) had acquired body bags during the COVID-19 period at a cost of Rs 6,719 per bag whereas the same body bags were bought for Rs 350 by the Thane Municipal Corporation (TMC).
As a part of his outreach programme, Shinde visited and addressed party workers at the Shiv Sena Branch No. 59 in Versova, Andheri.
“How is it possible that TMC buys dead body bags at Rs 350 per bag and BMC buys those same bags at more than Rs 6,500 per bag? This is just one of the many instances of how the Thackeray family has looted Mumbaikars when people were dying,” Shinde alleged.
Shinde lambasted for leading the BMC to the most corrupt municipal body in Asia. He said, “Uddhav Thackeray’s 15 years in BMC made the body the most corrupt across the continent. It is time to think about what our Marathi manoos, our Shiv Sainiks, gained under his leadership. Our Marathi people have to leave their city and go to either Thane or Kalyan-Dombivali. They are pushed outside Mumbai and only Uddhav and Aaditya Thackeray are responsible for this.”
Firing salvo at Aaditya Thackeray, Shinde said that instead of accusing the Chief Minister, Aaditya should first look into their 15 years of stint and give suitable answers to people.
“Those accusing us of being ‘khokhe’ should not forget that the SIT probe will soon reveal who received how many ‘khokhes’. It will be clear whom the links of Suraj Chavan and Sujit Patkar will eventually reach in the ED investigation,” he added.
Praising Maharashtra CM, Shrikant said Eknath Shinde is always on the move and works tirelessly for public welfare. “Since Eknath Shinde himself is very active as CM, the administration has also become active. The officers know that if they don’t work, they will be taken to task. The CM will clean the nallahs of corruption by doing good work in the BMC. He has worked in every corner of the state in the last 11 months,” he said.
Last week, the Enforcement Directorate had searched premises connected to persons reportedly close to Shiv Sena (UBT) leaders Sanjay Raut and Aaditya Thackeray as well as the central purchase department of the BMC.
The ED is probing alleged irregularities in the allotment of a civic contract to a firm to operate a jumbo COVID treatment facility.
Amid the Enforcement Directorate’s raids on BMC officials and Aaditya Thackeray’s aide in the Covid centre “scam”, Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray on Saturday in a counter attack on the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party demanded an investigation into the “scam” of the PM Cares fund and in the functioning of the other civic bodies in the state including Thane Municipal Corporation, which is said to be controlled by Shinde.
