The ruling Mahayuti alliance in Maharashtra released its manifesto for the upcoming Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) elections on Sunday, with Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde leading the event. The document focuses on transforming Mumbai into a world-class city through improvements in urban infrastructure, public transport, healthcare, housing, cleanliness, and transparent governance.
Key promises include ensuring 24×7 water supply with adequate pressure across all areas, modernising drainage systems to end monsoon flooding, and delivering pothole-free roads with rapid repairs. The manifesto also pledges major upgrades to BEST bus services, metro expansion, better last-mile connectivity, and smart traffic solutions to ease congestion.
In healthcare, the alliance commits to strengthening BMC hospitals and dispensaries with advanced facilities and affordable care for all, especially the urban poor. Housing initiatives aim to accelerate slum redevelopment and provide dignified homes with basic amenities through faster, transparent SRA projects.
