Former Maharashtra state minister and Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Aaditya Thackeray on Tuesday said that it is shocking to hear that most of the road and bridge works across Mumbai have been shut due to the lack of gravel supply.
Thackeray said that "crucial works like Delisle Road Bridge and other road works taken up by Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation won't even be complete by 31st May deadline."
In a tweet, Thackeray said that informally there has been talk that someone from the CM- "corrupt man's close circles has pressurised all suppliers to supply through one company only, which is why now the cost has gone up more than 50 per cent". He said it will lead to escalation in road/bridge costs.
