An investigation reveals that since February 2023, over 99% of the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation's (BMC) Rs 1,490.66 crore allocated for civic development has gone to wards represented by the ruling Mahayuti alliance. Opposition legislators report their funding proposals for essential amenities were repeatedly ignored. While the BMC states norms were followed, opposition leaders allege bias and an uneven playing field ahead of local elections, with only one opposition MLA receiving a small portion of the funds.
