Mumbai, Nov 14: The BMC pulled down illegal hoardings and banners at Bandra put up by Shiv Sena supporters that expressed their desire to see party chief Uddhav Thackeray occupy the chief minister’s post.
Currently Shiv Sena is the ruling party in the BMC. However, the BMC has said that it is their ‘routine work’ to remove illegal posters and banners put up on the footpath and the road divider. The officials said that there was no specific complaint regarding the hoardings and that they acted on their own.
It is said to be common in the area where their supporters put up illegal hoardings and posters to please their leaders. Sena mayor, Vishwanath Mahadeshwar said, “It must be routine BMC work.”
Between January and October, the BMC had removed 21,699 such hoardings and banners, mostly of political parties.
