In response, Sawant tweeted: “Sad to see the slavery of bureaucrats who discuss the issues of development of South Mumbai without the people’s representative of South Mumbai. None ... in the meeting have any relation ... to South Mumbai. MPs of Kalyan & South Central Mumbai, the MLAs from Konkan area and some civilians are seen present for this meeting on development project of South Mumbai. It’s nothing but an insult of the people of South Mumbai who have elected MLAs, MP & even ex-Councillors of Mumbai.”
MP Shinde had said that the meeting was held at the BMC office to discuss the revamp of Fort and Marine Drive to promote heritage and upgradation of amenities for tourists.
