<p>When the Mayor of Mumbai was from Congress, Mumbai never witnessed floods, said Nana Patole.</p>
<p>"What wrong did Milind Deora say? Several times, Mumbai Mayors were from our party. At that time Mumbai didn't get flooded whenever it rained. But ever since BMC came under BJP &amp; Shiv Sena, they drowned Mumbai. Roads are in poor condition too," Nana Patole told news agency ANI.</p>

<p>"Between 2017-22, BMC spent Rs 12,000 crore on Mumbai&rsquo;s roads &mdash; a staggering 10&#37 of NHAI&rsquo;s annual budget! Mumbaikars brave potholes every year &amp; deserve to know who is looting India&rsquo;s richest civic body. I demand a CBI probe. Roads are just the tip of the iceberg," Deora tweeted.</p>

<p>Maharashtra Congress president Nana Patole on Wednesday hit out at the BJP, alleging that it was working in a "more brutal way" than the British rulers in pre-Independence India, and claimed that the country was under an undeclared Emergency since 2014.</p>
<p>Talking to reporters here, he said it is becoming clear that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is misusing agencies like the Enforcement Directorate (ED), the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and the Income Tax Department to topple the non-BJP party-led governments in states and break the opposition parties.</p>
<p>The BJP has adopted the divide-and-rule policy like the British rulers in India, Patole said, adding that action was being taken against the leaders or political parties who do not support the party.</p>
