MUMBAI: (Feb 25) The Congress and Shiv Sena (UBT) on Wednesday criticised the Mumbai civic body’s Budget 2026-27, alleging it was designed to benefit contractors and terming it the BJP’s roadmap to loot citizens.
The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) proposed a budget outlay of Rs 80,952.56 crore for the financial year 2026-27, marking an 8.77 per cent increase over the 2025-26 budget estimate of Rs 74,427.41 crore.
Mumbai Congress president and MP Varsha Gaikwad claimed the civic body was burdened with liabilities of Rs 2.45 lakh crore, and Mumbaikars will be forced to bear the costs.
