With the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) budget scheduled for February 4, the Shiv Sena (UBT)  has sought an interim budget of four months in the next financial year, claiming a multi-crore scam in the absence of corporators in the BMC. As corporators’ terms ended in March 2022, the budget prepared by the administration of the BMC will be approved without their inputs by the administrator—Municipal Commissioner IS Chahal.

Former minister Anil Parab has alleged, “In the absence of the corporators, there is a multi-crore scam running in BMC.”
