In the 10 months between February 2023 and December 31, 2023, the BMC allotted Rs 163.29 crore from its Rs 900-crore contingency fund to 31 of the 227 “corporator wards” in Mumbai for carrying out civic works.
What is common to all 77 electoral wards that were allocated a whopping Rs 3 crore each for basic amenity spending? They ALL had BJP corporators; the rest, including even Eknath Shinde loyalists, got just Rs 1 crore
