Corruption exposed as water enters metro route! Opposition including UBT slams government for Mumbai Metro 3 failure

Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray has slammed the government over the situation in Mumbai, saying that Mumbai was not only submerged in one downpour but also that corruption was exposed due to water entering the metro tunnel Metro 3. The government has also been targeted by the Congress.

Uddhav Thackeray targeted Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde over the condition of Mumbai during the first rains. For three years, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has been in the hands of the BJP and the Mindhe gang. Warning the government that public money has only been looted during this period, it will be dealt with, he appealed to Shiv Sainiks to take to the streets and lend a helping hand to the people.

“Citizens were inconvenienced during the disaster. We want to help the citizens first. We don't want to answer anyone's accusations. Those who do politics should do politics. People know who was in Mumbai for the last 25 years. I don't want to comment on them," Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde criticised Aaditya Thackeray.

Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde visited the Thane Municipal Corporation's Disaster Management Center on Monday evening to inquire about the work being done there. He then interacted with reporters. Shinde directed that if any situation arises or a complaint is received, the agencies should be ready to help by responding in the shortest possible time.

Shiv Sena (Thackeray) MLA Aaditya Thackeray inspected the situation at Acharya Atre Chowk Worli Metro Station in Worli. Similarly, he reviewed the situation at Hindmata. On this occasion, he criticised the government. 

For the last two months, we have been consistently saying that the drain cleaning has not been done properly. The money the civic body has spent is being used to bribe former corporators and buy off office bearers. This is the money of Mumbaikars, he said to Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde.

Congress state president Harshvardhan Sapkal criticised that the first heavy rains in Mumbai showed a picture of the corruption of the state government and the BMC flowing on the streets. 

Mumbaikars are suffering due to the rains because contractors and the government are lining their pockets by using public money. Mumbai is inundated with water in many places. Roads, housing societies, railway tracks, underground metro stations, hospitals are flooded. A single rain has exposed the corrupt practices of the BJP, Shinde faction and Ajit Pawar faction. Sapkal quipped that his achievements are so great that he will have to go door to door by boat to seek people's votes in the upcoming elections.
