Another official said that the civic body would bear the losses incurred due to the cancellation of the bookings and might not recover it from the corporators.
From Swachh Bharat to the Smart Cities Mission and from Make in India to measures for ease of doing business, there were lavish fund allocations for 2016-17 for the Bharatiya Janata Party’s biggest schemes.
However, officials said that the since the civic body will continue to get revenue from Octroi, which is the major source of revenue for BMC, no new taxes are required to be introduced.
The BMC’s parking policy, passed in January last year, has been stayed by the state government following protests by residents led by BJP legislator from South Mumbai Raj Purohit.
A delegation of party leaders comprising Ashish Shelar, Ameet Satam, Yogesh Sagar, Manoj Kotak and others met Fadnavis Friday to demand a review after major public resistance.
The criticism came in the backdrop of BJP’s Mumbai unit chief and legislator Ashish Shelar having moved a private member’s Bill on open spaces in the Assembly last month.
