With a new political dispensation at the helm in the state, the news is rife that the Maharashtra government is on a mission to scrap certain projects in the city. Through the 2.5-year Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) tenure at the top, pitched battles had been fought in the digital space and beyond, with frenemies BJP and Shiv Sena taking pot shots at each other, especially with reference to different works that had started in the city.

While the Opposition is a watchdog and must question and criticise when there are grounds for it, the BJP vs Shiv Sena had degenerated into slanging matches, rather than any battles with meaning or, one suspected at times, genuine concern.
