Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Aaditya Thackeray on Tuesday accused the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government of exploiting Mumbai over the civic body's decision to levy property tax on commercial establishments operating from slum areas, and collect solid waste management user charges, news agency PTI reported.

Addressing a press conference, he said Mumbaikars have to bear dug-up roads, non-operational buses of the Brihanmumbai Electric Supply and Transport (BEST) and contaminated water, but the BJP government does not have an answer to these issues.
