Sena report card: B-minus, at best
Even at the fag end of the five-year period, the BMC has about 50% of the funds budgeted for infrastructure work lying unutilised.
Even at the fag end of the five-year period, the BMC has about 50% of the funds budgeted for infrastructure work lying unutilised. In fact, but for the 26/7 delugelast year — which served as a wake-up call for the city's administrators — the Sena-BJP alliance's performance would have been worse.
The floods, and later the intervention of the courts in response to a series of public interest litigations (PILs), was what prodded Sena politicians to fulfil a few of the promises made in their party's 2002 poll manifesto.
To start with, 26/7 helped revive the BRIMSTOWAD plan to upgrade the city's stormwater drains and helped accelerate the Mumbai III A water supply project, the Middle Vaitarna water supply project and Mumbai Sewerage Disposal Project Phase II.
In case of roads, but for the sustained involvement of the higher judiciary, road-widening and repairing was unlikely to be carried out at a fairly fast pace.
Even on other fronts, such as the acquisition of plots meant for public amenities, the ruling party did not show much enthusiasm. Of the 48 plots that were to be acquired at the beginning of its term, the BMC house has so far managed only five.
Mayor Datta Dalvi when asked about the ruling party's performance vis-a-vis the election manifesto said a detailed report on the issue would be submitted soon.
However, Ashish Shelar, a senior member of the BJP, claimed the alliance had been able to deliver on most promises and "given another term, we will be able to complete all the projects," he said.
Here's a lowdown on all the promises made by the Shiv Sena in its manifesto and the corresponding progress made by the party in the last five years.
