After a month of thinking, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has started acting like the opposition in the Shiv Sena-ruled Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC). On Thursday, BJP corporators walked out of a Standing Committee meeting, as a meeting related to Budget was held in a private building.

While BJP corporators still sit with Sena corporators on ruling party chairs and the Congress-NCP-SP corporators sit on the opposition side, things are changing. BJP corporators walked out of the Standing Committee meeting at the beginning. Prabhakar Shinde, BJP corporator, wanted to take a point of order but Shiv Sena corporator, chairman Yashwant Jadhav refused to discuss any matter and asked him to speak after the routine work. BJP corporators then created a ruckus and left.
