Meanwhile, Mumbai Congress president Sanjay Nirupam and his party workers have started counting the potholes to cross-check the number of potholes the BMC claims to have filed in the city. With regards to the same, opposition leader Ravi Raja carried out a protest in the Wadala-Sion area where potholes at Babasaheb Ambedkar road were covered up. Along with this, Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) party workers too protested against the dilapidated buildings by carrying out fake final rites hinting towards BMC's lackadaisical attitude.
