Uddhav Thackeray, the chief of Shiv Sena (UBT) faction, said that the Shiv Sena-BJP government in the state lacks the courage to face polls. He said money is splurged in the name of events like G20 and road concretization

Uddhav Thackeray said that when the Shiv Sena took charge of the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) in 1997, the civic body's revenue was in deficit, but in 25 years, its fixed deposits rose to Rs 92,000 crore

Uddhav Thackeray alleged that around Rs 7,000-9,000 crore have been spent from these FDs and someone has to question the BMC because this is people's money

The Shiv Sena (UBT) will take out a morcha against irregularities in the BMC, Uddhav Thackeray said, adding Shiv Sena leaders including his son Aaditya Thackeray will lead the morcha on July 1

Meanwhile, Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde on Monday night approved setting up a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to probe "irregularities" worth Rs 12,024 crore in various works of the Mumbai civic body flagged by the Comptroller and Auditor General of India (CAG)
