Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Aaditya Thackeray on Saturday called for an inquiry by the Mumbai Police's Economic Offences Wing (EOW) into the alleged irregularities in the contracts awarded by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) for road construction during the previous Eknath Shinde government.

According to news agency PTI, while addressing a press conference, the Shiv Sena (Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray) legislator demanded that Shinde, along with Deepak Kesarkar and Mangal Prabhat Lodha, who were the guardian ministers for Mumbai city and Mumbai suburbs, respectively, be excluded from the new government, as the road contracts were awarded during their tenure as ministers.
