Municipal Commissioner Iqbal Singh Chahal on Thursday issued a point-by-point rebuttal to Shiv Sena (UBT) MLA Aaditya Thackeray’s allegations of irregularities in road repair and other city works. Prices were increased in the revised tender because large companies refused to work on old rates, he said, justifying an alleged 40 per cent hike.
Former Minister Aaditya Thackeray on Wednesday met Governor Ramesh Bais and demanded the Lokayukta investigate Chahal and the alleged irregularities in the works and tenders of the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation. Thackeray had alleged a scam of Rs 6,000 crore in road repair works.
Issuing an official statement, Chahal stated, “Certain questions are being raised consciously and deliberately about the BMC’s mechanisms since the completion of the corporators’ terms on March 7, 2022. An appropriate response has been provided through various channels and legal platforms. All allegations of financial misconduct are completely unsubstantiated and baseless.”
