Varsha Gaikwad Alleges Mahayuti Govt Allowed Builders To Exploit Reserved BMC Plots, Demands Withdrawal Of DC Rule Change | FileCity Congress president and MP Varsha Gaikwad has created a sensation in political circles by accusing the Mahayuti government of permitting construction activity on municipal plots reserved for public amenities like gardens.
Gaikwad said under Development Control (DC) rules, no development can be carried out on such plots without changing the reservation as per established norms.
This change cleared the way for a builder to commercially exploit a suburban plot, something otherwise impossible.
Dangerous Precedent Warned“This move not only jeopardises Mumbai’s development plan but also sets a dangerous precedent endangering all reserved, public, and BMC-owned plots.
BMC Commissioner RespondsWhen contacted by FPJ, Gagrani said the BMC had no role in DC rule modification.
