After more than three years of administrative rule, the BMC on Wednesday unveiled its largest-ever budget of Rs 80,952.56 crore, marking the first time since the civic body lost elected representation that the financial plan has been formally placed before a standing committee. The budget addressed several topics that were promised by the BJP-Shiv Sena Mahayuti in its election manifesto presented in January this year.
