The 2020-21 Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) budget presented by municipal commissioner Praveen Pardeshi on Tuesday was painted in the vision of the Thackeray father-son duo. With Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray heading the state, the BMC is hoping to boost its falling income by reforming the tax structure, recover an R800-crore grant from the state, and develop new income avenues from pending development projects.
The R33,441-crore budget has high allocation for the coastal road, Byculla zoo revamp, the revival of BEST, and a mention of tourism and city's aesthetics — all of which are part of Thackeray's aims. Pardeshi even thanked CM Thackeray for his guidance on the Mumbai 2030 vision.
