Shiv Sena MP Milind Deora stated that accountability is the primary concern for Mumbaikars regarding the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC). He highlighted the BMC's significant financial resources, noting its budget surpasses that of five Indian states. Deora alleged the BMC has been misused as an "ATM" by certain individuals over the past 25 years, advocating for it to become "Accountable To Mumbaikars" by addressing civic issues like roads, education, and public hospitals ahead of upcoming elections.
