Aashwin Shanker, Mumbai Uncensored, 24th June 2021:

It’s been 14 days since a building collapsed in Malad that killed 12 people and BMC is perhaps still on the search for an ideal candidate to appoint in the P-North Ward which includes Malad. When asked, officials said that BMC (the richest municipal corporation in Asia) is short of Ward Officers to appoint in the P-North Ward, B Ward which includes Mohammed Ali Road, Dongri, M-East Ward which includes Govandi, Shivaji Nagar, and S Ward which includes Bhandup.

It shows how poorly the richest municipal corporation of Asia is being administered that even after 11 days of tower crash in one of the most populated areas of Mumbai, the BMC is yet to appoint a full time Assistant Municipal Commissioner (Ward Officer).But this is not all, BMC is also short on officers in its “Removal of Encroachment Department”. It does not even have a full time “Deputy Municipal Commissioner”.


How is BMC tackling political pressure?

When BJP demanded to appoint a full time ward officer for the ward, the BMC promoted Sanjog Kabre (AMC) in February, this year and since then the new AMC Santosh Dhonde of P-South ward has been given the charge of P-North Ward as well.


Apart from this DMC Bharat Marathe has been given additional charge of zone IV who is also the incharge of zone V. The ward has neither a full time ward officer nor a full time DMC.


Aam Aadmi Party has also cornered the BMC on the poor functioning of civic administration in the city. Yesterday the Aam Aadmi Party shared a post on its Facebook page which read “Building Collapsed, 12 people died, still Malad doesn’t have a ward officer. City’s three other wards also don’t have a ward officer. This is the situation in Monsoon, is the BMC even serious? Is the ruling party so busy in media publicity and getting famous that it has forgotten its responsibilities to the city?” The allegations are true, this is a reason that illegal constructions have spurred across the city.With no one to keep a check, the line between contractors and unconstitutional elements is getting blurred. While the innocent and who dream to have a home of their own suffer.


“Bribery is the name of the game for appointment of Assistant Commissioners”. The amount is fixed by the Maharashtra Vikas Aghadi Government (MVA). Commissioner is working under acute pressure from the top and is helpless. Daily, unauthorized huts are mushrooming all over the city on government lands. Malvani being a unique example where illegal buildings floor over floor are being constructed. Instead of constructing the buildings and huts in a horizontal manner that is one after the other they are being constructed in a vertical manner I.e. one on top of another, all buildings have a at least 5 to 6 floors – said Vinod Mishra – Municipal Corporator & BJP Group Leader – BMC

मुंबई: पश्चिम उपनगरातील व्यापक जनसंपर्क कार्यासाठी ओळखले जाणारे नेते संदीप जाधव यांनी बृहन्मुंबई महानगरपालिका निवडणुकीसाठी वॉर्ड क्रमांक ५४ मधून अपक्ष म्हणून आपला उमेदवारी अर्ज दाखल केला, ज्यामुळे आता त्यांच्या सार्वजनिक जीवनात एका नवीन पर्वाची सुरुवात झाली आहे. भारतीय जनता पक्षाचे तिकीट न मिळाल्याने त्यांनी राजीनामा दिला व अपक्ष निवडणूक लढविण्याचे जाहीर केले.

समर्थक आणि स्थानिक रहिवाशांशी बोलताना जाधव यांनी स्पष्ट केले की, त्यांचा हा निर्णय राजकीय दबावामुळे नव्हे, तर लोकसेवेच्या वचनबद्धतेतून घेतला आहे. “माझे राजकारण नेहमीच लोकाभिमुख राहिले आहे. पदे बदलू शकतात, परंतु नागरिकांप्रती माझी जबाबदारी कायम आहे,” असे ते म्हणाले.

गेल्या काही वर्षांत, संदीप जाधव यांनी प्रत्यक्ष जमिनीवरील विकासकामांद्वारे, विशेषतः तळागाळात, वॉर्ड क्रमांक ५४ च्या रहिवाशांशी एक मजबूत नाते निर्माण केले आहे. संदीप जाधव यांनी अनेक एस.आर.ए.मधील रखडलेल्या प्रकल्पांना गती मिळावी यासाठी सातत्याने पाठपुरावा करून सहकार्य केले आहे. नागरिकांच्या घरांसंबंधित अडचणी व समस्या त्यांनी मनापासून ऐकून घेतल्या असून त्या सोडवण्यासाठी ते नेहमीच तत्पर राहिले आहेत. त्यांच्या उपक्रमांमध्ये पाण्याची तीव्र टंचाई असलेल्या झोपडपट्ट्यांमध्ये पाणीपुरवठा जोडणी, प्रकाश दिवे नसलेल्या परिसरांमध्ये अंधाराची समस्या, नागरी समस्या सोडवण्यासाठी नियमित जनता दरबार आयोजित करणे आणि कोविड-१९ महामारीसारख्या संकटाच्या काळात गरिबांना सातत्यपूर्ण मदत करणे यांचा समावेश आहे.

राजकीय निरीक्षकांच्या मते, जाधव यांच्या अपक्ष उमेदवारीकडे आत्मविश्वास आणि तळागाळातील ताकदीचे प्रतीक म्हणून पाहिले जात आहे. अनेक रहिवासी त्यांच्या सहज उपलब्धतेमुळे आणि समस्या सोडवण्याच्या दृष्टिकोनामुळे त्यांना पाठिंबा देत आहेत. त्यांच्या समर्थकांचा विश्वास आहे की, अपक्ष म्हणून निवडणूक लढवल्यामुळे त्यांना कोणत्याही संघटनात्मक बंधनांशिवाय स्थानिक प्रश्न अधिक ठामपणे मांडता येतील.

जाधव यांनी यावरही भर दिला आहे की, त्यांची मोहीम विकास-केंद्रित राहील, ज्यामध्ये पाणीपुरवठा, स्वच्छता, रस्ते, सुरक्षा आणि गरिबांसाठी कल्याणकारी योजना यांसारख्या मूलभूत नागरी सुविधांना प्राधान्य दिले जाईल. “ही निवडणूक पक्षचिन्हांची नाही; तर ती विश्वास, काम आणि जबाबदारीची आहे,” असे त्यांनी ठामपणे सांगितले.

बीएमसी निवडणुका जवळ येत असताना, वॉर्ड क्रमांक ५४ मधून संदीप जाधव यांच्या अपक्ष उमेदवारीने राजकीय लढतीला एक नवीन आयाम दिला आहे. अनेक जण याकडे पारंपरिक पक्षीय राजकारणाऐवजी कामगिरी आणि लोकसेवेवर आधारित लोकाभिमुख मोहीम म्हणून पाहत आहेत.

Eknath Shinde Faces Crucial Test as Maharashtra Elections Loom

Published

As Maharashtra approaches a critical assembly election, all eyes are on Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, whose leadership is set to face its most significant test yet. The election promises to be a highly competitive affair, with rival political forces mobilizing to challenge his government. For Shinde, the stakes are immense—he has the opportunity to either solidify his legacy or confront a set of formidable challenges that could alter his political trajectory.

A Legacy Built on Grassroots Leadership
Eknath Shinde’s rise to power has been defined by his deep connection to the common man and his hands-on approach to governance. Throughout his political career, Shinde has built a reputation as a problem-solver, addressing the everyday concerns of the people with a practical and empathetic leadership style. His administration has focused on improving public services, especially in areas like healthcare, transportation, and sanitation, which resonate strongly with voters.

Shinde’s ability to stay accessible to his constituents has played a crucial role in building public trust. His government has consistently prioritized grassroots issues, from enhancing public transport systems to addressing local grievances. This foundation of trust and reliability will be critical for Shinde as he gears up for the electoral battle.

Navigating a Complex Political Landscape
Despite these strengths, Shinde faces a turbulent political environment. Opposition parties, including the Shiv Sena, Congress, and Nationalist Congress Party (NCP), are gearing up to challenge his administration. These parties are expected to focus on governance issues, such as unmet promises and administrative challenges, as they work to expose perceived weaknesses in Shinde’s leadership. In this highly competitive political climate, Shinde will need to craft a robust strategy to fend off these attacks and maintain his leadership position.

To consolidate his voter base, Shinde is actively reaching out to new constituencies, particularly in rural areas where development remains a pressing issue. Farmers and small business owners, key demographics in Maharashtra’s economy, are crucial to Shinde’s electoral strategy. His administration has introduced initiatives such as improved irrigation facilities and financial support for small enterprises, both of which will feature prominently in his campaign messaging.

Infrastructure as a Pillar of Progress
Shinde’s focus on infrastructure development has been a hallmark of his governance. Under his leadership, the state has seen significant progress in transportation, energy, and urban planning. Projects aimed at expanding road networks and enhancing public transport systems have been central to his administration’s efforts to improve the quality of life for citizens. As the election approaches, Shinde will likely highlight these achievements as tangible proof of his leadership’s effectiveness.

By showcasing these infrastructure projects, Shinde hopes to persuade voters that his government has brought about meaningful change. This focus on infrastructure not only demonstrates progress but also helps to strengthen his argument that he is a leader who delivers results.

Embracing Digital Tools in the Election Campaign
With the growing importance of digital platforms, Shinde’s campaign has recognized the need to engage voters through social media and other digital tools. By leveraging these platforms, Shinde’s team is reaching out to younger voters and creating engaging narratives to build momentum ahead of election day. Social media will play a key role in shaping the election’s discourse and driving voter turnout.

The Stakes for Maharashtra’s Future
For Shinde, the outcome of this election will have far-reaching implications. A victory would not only secure his party’s position in the state but also solidify his standing as a capable and effective leader. Such a result would allow him to continue shaping Maharashtra’s future through his policies and initiatives. However, a loss could lead to a significant shift in power dynamics and potentially reshape the state’s political and policy priorities.

The upcoming assembly elections represent a defining moment for Eknath Shinde and Maharashtra. His leadership style, characterized by a commitment to listening to the people and addressing their needs, will be tested like never before. As rival parties ramp up their campaigns, Shinde will need to be vigilant and adaptable, reinforcing his government’s accomplishments while countering criticisms with a clear vision for the state’s future.

Ultimately, the choices Shinde makes in the coming weeks will determine not only his political fate but also the future direction of Maharashtra. As the election date draws near, the people of Maharashtra await to see how their Chief Minister navigates this critical juncture in the state’s history.
