In the history of BMC no guardian minister had ever occupied office in the BMC head quarter. Even, BMC law doesn't permit office to guardian minister. But here dictatorship is going on. BMC officers are being called and scolded in the office. Last week, BMC commissioner and another additional commissioner were called in the guardian ministers office, it shows how helpless commissioner is in front of guardian minister."
"Constitution of Dr. Baba Saheb Ambedkar had given freedom to all the local bodies to run by themselves but here BJP is curbing those freedom to win elections. if Lodha is gaurdian minster of Mumbai Suburban then he should go to the Collector office.why is he coming to BMC headquarter," Sawant added.
