Wards dominated by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) will get the maximum funds allotted in the BMC budget, at least three times more than wards with former corporators from other political parties. The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) administration has made a provision of R3 crore each to 77 of 227 electoral wards. BJP corporators were elected from these 77 wards in 2017. Even wards with Chief Minister Eknath Shinde’s loyalist former corporators won’t get Rs 3 crore each.

Civic Chief I S Chahal has made provisions for funds for the 227 electoral wards under the head ‘Provision for providing various basic civic amenities along with development work’ in the BMC budget. The remaining 150 wards are to get Rs 1 crore each.
