While Mumbaikars and Opposition parties are demanding answers to the deaths of six commuters in the foot overbridge collapse at CSMT, the head of the ruling party in the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation Uddhav Thackeray, chose to attend an election meeting of the Sena-BJP in Amravati instead.

Opposition leaders, NCP chief Sharad Pawar, state Congress president Ashok Chavan and Mumbai Congress president Sanjay Nirupam ripped into the city administration, its political bosses and state government for making the city unsafe.
