The Shiv Sena and BJP are worried that they will lose brownie points just before the BMC elections. Last March the BEST Undertaking announced that 303 new buses will be inducted into their fleet, for which the BJP-Sena led BEST Committee had passed a proposal. But now there is a delay in procuring the buses, which has made the saffron parties anxious.
