"The development of Mumbai slowed down a bit for a while but after Shinde and Fadnavis (deputy chief minister Devendra Fadnavis of BJP) assumed office (in June 2022), the momentum has come back," said the PM, apparently referring to the 31-month-long stint of the erstwhile MVA government headed by Uddhav Thackeray in alliance with the Congress and the Nationalist Congress Party. (PTI)

When there is a state government committed to development, it is important that Mumbai has a civic body that, too, shares that goal, PM Modi said, apparently referring to the change in dispensation in Maharashtra following a revolt in the Shiv Sena and the upcoming polls to urban local bodies. (PTI)

Mumbai`s civic body plays a key role in development of the metropolis and while there was no dearth of funds for the city, it is important budgeted money is spent to achieve stated objectives and not wasted due to corrupt practices, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Thursday as he sounded the bugle for long-awaited municipal polls.
