These allegations were levelled by the MNS leader in a press conference held in Dadar along with Nitin Sardesai. Speaking at this press conference, Sandeep Deshpande said that Mayor Pednekar misused her position and gave the contract for the COVID-19 centre in Worli to Kish Corporate Services India Private Limited, where her son Saiprasad Pednekar is an additional director.
Showing documents, Deshpande asserted that the firm had been given at least two contracts. The contracts, worth ₹3.42 lakhs and ₹12.82 lakhs, were given for providing contract workers at the NSCI dome jumbo COVID-19 care centre in Worli. Payments for both the contracts were made in the month of June, Deshpande further claimed.
The Mumbai Mayor responding to these allegations stated that these are politically motivated and are baseless, and if need be, she is open for investigation.
She added that even if her son is the additional director, the company has bagged these contracts after following due process. Moreover, according to Pednekar, the company has been working independently since 2011 and has done small jobs for the civic body in the past. Furthermore, she concluded by stating that her son is an adult and has the right to do business as an independent businessman.
