Addressing a two-day training camp for BJP corporators at Vasant Smruti in Dadar, Fadnavis emphasised the need to ensure a corruption-free administration in the civic body.
Later, Mumbai BJP president and MLA Ameet Satam announced that the party had prepared a 20-point action plan to be implemented within the first 100 days in the BMC. Mayor Ritu Tawde, Standing Committee chairman Prabhakar Shinde, education committee chairperson Rajshree Shirwadkar and leader of the house Ganesh Khankar were also present at the press conference.
Ending the 'Understanding' in the Standing Committee
Satam said that work had already begun to ensure transparency in civic administration. “The chief minister has taken a firm stand against corruption in the BMC, and steps are being taken to end the alleged ‘understanding’ in the standing committee,” he said.
According to Satam, six of the 20 initiatives have already been implemented within the first month. Among them is the decision to procure all 27 items required for municipal school students through the Government e-Marketplace (GeM) portal to ensure transparency in purchases.
Cleanliness, Infrastructure, and Health on the Agenda
Other initiatives include organising community-level cleanliness competitions to improve sanitation across the city and starting work on developing better entry points to Mumbai.
Satam also said that the BMC has begun vaccination against cervical cancer for girls aged 9–14 under a Central government scheme. In addition, a study group from Indian Institute of Technology Bombay has been appointed to examine long-term solutions to Mumbai’s flooding problem.
