The BMC is in financial crisis and that's why the civic body is giving many land parcels at prominent places on lease, Aaditya Thackeray, leader of Shiv Sena UBT has alleged.

Thackeray in a press conference on Thursday said the corporation has now decided to auction Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Mandai (Market), BEST Electric Receiving Station at Malabar Hill, and Worli Asphalt Plant to raise funds and make up for the loot of the Eknath Shinde regime. He also said that the Shinde regime had started the sale of Mumbai to his favourite builders and contractors. It’s also possible that eventually Shinde and BJP will also auction the Hutatma Smarak, and earn ‘khokes’ (money) out of that too!
