Mumbai: BJP MLA Amit Satam lashed out at the Shiv Sena amid corruption allegations in BMC. He said Aditya Thackeray’s Sena aims at creating a world record in misconduct. He was referring to a project meant for project-affected people (PAP) in which builder would be benefited with an amount of Rs. 600 crore.
“A proposal has brought before the improvements committee for the project affected people. It is decided by the BMC to purchase 529 houses of 300 sq ft from Classic builder for Rs. 52,000 per sq ft. Means each house for Rs. 1.57 crore. So far, such houses were purchased for Rs. 17 lakh. This would give a straight profit of Rs. 600 crore to the builder,” Satam alleged.
Being upset with the fudging of taxpayer’s money, the BJP MLA terms it as a serious case of corruption. “We will not allow the Sena to exploit Mumbaikars like this and would approach court against the proposal. But it irks me that Shiv Sena in connivance with builder is robbing the BMC’s exchequer,” he added.
Satam further alleged that the Sena cries foul whenever there is any inquiry of misconduct. “If there is a raid from ED or income tax then you would cry it as against Marathi people. This is hypocrisy and Mumbaikars would expose you and show you the place,” he said.
