Mumbai Mayor Ritu Tawde on Wednesday asked the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) to ensure that proposals, projects and civic works that are not directly connected to her are not referred to in her name.

In a letter to BMC Commissioner Ashwini Bhide dated August 19, 2026, the mayor said that the proposals related to various civic works, schemes and projects are placed before BMC committees, the Standing Committee and the General Body. She said it was inappropriate for her name to be mentioned in such matters when she has no connection with them or has not issued any instructions.
