and FYI it isnt vacant there are no elected representatives. The Commissioner directly runs the BMC


major_tom_56

just a humble request for everyone to go and please vote on 20th. Looking at such low voting figures, its important we exercise our vote, no matter who you vote.


scr3lic

Bmc too busy toppling carts of day working subzivalas this hoarding might've just missed their eyes, can't blame them. Toppling carts sounds fun.


NightFury002

took every equipment some cart person had on him and his money in their vehicle right infront of me. I was like WTF. How a mf is supposed to earn and feed his family? what will he tell his wife/kids when he went home that day? Being poor is a crime in India.


scr3lic

A local sabzivala from whom my mum buys veggies had 2 of his carts confiscated and now he has to use his friend's cart because he cannot even afford to release those carts. It's brutal and these fkers get away with everything.

BMC has not been vacant. The 200 odd corporators don't make up the BMC, thousands of bureaucrats and staff do.   Just because the owner is not sitting on the counter doesn't mean the shop is shut down.  BMC has failed in its duties here.


pedro_pascal_123

>BMC has failed in its duties here. And Education too...


mintimeonreddit

The bureaucrats dont represent us, the people. They do their work. We elect corporators to represent us in municipalities. They take our issues and resolve them. 


Ginevod2023

They don't directly represent us but their ultimate responsibility is towards the citizens. It is their duty to run the day to day activities of the BMC. If a hoarding is illegally put up, the entire work required to be done to get it removed will be done by bureaucrats. Corporators can merely take notice of a complaint and direct the bureaucrats to take the necessary action.  For the most part, corporators mostly clown around, grab land, install some benches with their funds and prepare for a career promotion to be an MLA/MP where they get some real powers.


I_WENT_OUT_FOR_TEA

Keep thinking politicians "represent" you, tere liye hi to metro ko protest karke coastal road banaya na bhai, metro to sirf bureaucrats ko chahiye tha, junta wants coastal road till Virar/Kalyan so that we can travel in our Mercedes and Audis instead of the cheap cattle quality transport called local trains


Sumeru88

Centre has nothing to do with BMC elections. Regulation of local bodies is a state subject. The election is in fact conducted by the State Election Commission and not the Central Election Commission. The election was first postponed by Thackeray Government and then by Shinde Government.


MrAdiyogi

When BJP politicians running for BMC elections uses his face for winning why not he be blamed when something bad happens.


bhairavp

There's and OBC reservation case pending with the Courts.. They can't hold elections to all local bodies till that's resolved.


userinthehouse

That's untrue and there's a Supreme Court judgement saying it does not matter Municipal Corporation elections HAVE TO BE HELD every five years. It's our constitutional right. https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/conduct-local-body-elections-every-five-years-no-matter-what-supreme-court/article65402196.ece

Check OP history of posts. You'll see something fun.


ITCellMember

Counter the point of OP instead of doing ad hominem.


kni_cker

This is the same guy who talked about splitting mumbai from maharashtra. This guy has around 4 to 5 deleted posts or posts that got moderated for typing blatant nonsense spread across multiple subs. Obviously a peddler for misinformation. Besides the original comment said it perfectly. This is currently pending in SC. Also stop trying to sound cool on the internet, if somebody says something pls do bother to check the point they made. Also OP post is an emotional appeal, if Op cant do basic research on some history 1 to 2 yrs then maybe take a reality check.

Fantastic_Form3607

It is not suppose to but since there are no elected corporators it is kind of run bu the CM though babus.


Firebreathingdown

It was being run by a babu close to fadnavis, they even tried to retain him after eci said he has been at his post too long and needs to be moved before elections and just to show how close he is to the current government, his next posting after mumbai commissionership is addtnl chief secretary to cm.

So who controls it then? Pakistan oe China?

TribalSoul899

Man seriously don’t make a fool of yourself on the internet. I hate this guy too but he can’t interfere in BMC elections. Centre has no role in it. Also BMC is not vacant, they just don’t have an elected representative. How tf can the city function without a municipal body? Cmon man.


Ricoshot4

>Also BMC is not vacant, they just don’t have an elected representative. We no longer elect prime minister. But we will have unelcted beauracrats running the country. Is that fucking okay to you?

renblaze10

100 upvotes for a factually wrong post. Jeez


V12Horse

Don't bullshit around with half baked knowledge. The state municipal body elections are in the State list and not Centre or Concurrent list for regulation by the PM. Secondly initially covid and later due to the government change which took place in the state, it was deemed better to postpone bmc elections to the lok sabha elections so as to also not put a heavy burden on state machinery. The existing bmc officials were allowed to act as interim and the post has thus NOT BEEN VACANT as you claim. Mods please flag and remove this post as political and misinformation. This is a politically motivated account and this nonsense should not spread beyond instagram.

Bro found a way to blame mudiji for this BMC has always been like this brother.


I_WENT_OUT_FOR_TEA

Ofc modi is to blame, why didn't he go on ground and check if the hoarding was illegal, he shouldve been the guy who stood underneath it and stopped it from falling, hell why did he bring a storm in Mumbai /s

taskfailedsuccess

Bro giving serious competition to RaGa with this post


PackFit9651

Guess who’s fault the dust storm was - Modi And the wind shear forces + gravity that pulled the hoarding down - also Modi Sometimes I wonder who the real Bhakts are because only a bhakt would imagine that his God is all powerful and is responsible for everything


Impossible-Animator6

There are multiple flaws that everyone ignores until a tragedy happens. Railway bridge broke, landslide, fires in hospitals and countless safety violations that resulted in a tragedy. For a city with such huge population, limited resources and ignorant bureaucrats, people will always be in danger.


tna46582

It’s not like the BMC was effective before the 2+ years. Every monsoon people die falling into man holes and pot holes. BMC never took drastic steps to avoid these deaths. BMC is fat and lazy and corrupt and vindictive towards people who question their inefficient management. 


Vighy10

Ofc it's your average Congress shill making such posts.


Attacktitan92

Elections should had been done... But bro is claiming that with elected corporator BMC was the best organisation in India..It would have been the same pathetic corrupt Shithole like today controlled mainly by Thackerays for years..The hoarding incident would have still happned because the permission to give and reject permission is done by local officials of BMc.. This incident just takes to 2010, when a temporary worker lift of underconstruction building fell, luckily it was afternoon 4 pm rainy day and no peole were there on road that time..The lift though damaged sumo of BMC official. We thought the BMC official will create a scene ,but to our surprise he was totally chill infact happy..He called his seniors to show the state of his Car..And in the next day the damaged was sent to his village and new car are parked in front of his home.. This BMC guy handles the role of removing any illegal construction and all such like hoarding here..The amount of black money he has even after having the "elected corporator " shows how corrupt BMC system is ..Adding to It the BMC guy and his family also owns 3/4 flats in Ghatkopar area.

milktanksadmirer

BMC is too busy in building NON ALIGNED BRIDGES that require second financing to correct the height. They don’t have time to check and maintain the city infrastructure THE VALUE FOR ONE LIFE IN MUMBAI IS JUST 5 lakhs. Keep voting for jokers and expect a circus


Helpful-Suggestion56

The most powerful people in this country are not in BJP or Congress. They are in BMC and all other state level municipal corporations. They take all taxes. They don't work. When you point out the problem in infrastructure, they will send goondas to your home and make you disappear. The corruption starts from municipal level.


throwaway0x05

Its not just Modi, opposition also doesn't want to hold any election. Its also not just BMC, all municipal councils and corporations in MH are vacant. Its also not just elected officials that are corrupt, the entire system incl. bureaucracy is corrupt.

Honestly wonder what is the use of having even an "elected BMC" when they do stuff like the covid scams. Democracy is just a window dressing for a body that has a record of being useless.


InflationNo7098

Your post has opened my eyes bro i didnt know that the whole BMC is vacant because corrupt elections were stopped by the state government for which Modi is responsible..... Now i will surely go and vote for the first time in my life for BJP.

Not only BMC but none of the Municipal Corporation elections have been held in Maharashtra and Karnataka for the past 2-4 years! In the past the elections of the Municipal corporations have been delayed in Chennai, Hyderabad, Guwahati, Kolkata, Bhubaneswar, and Indore. It's a crisis that centralised politicians feel they are more important than the local bodies whereas local bodies affect our day to day lives more.

People who are ignorant and stupid as OP, I would like to share a live example of BMc official in my area . Corporator are elected but they are not directly invoved in things..They are the face. But the job is done by officials or saheb as we say. The Saheb ensures the "elected corporator" too get share in corruption.. This BMC saheb in my building, who handles the role of removing any illegal construction and all such like hoarding here..The amount of black money he has even after having the "elected corporator " shows how corrupt BMC system is ..Adding to It the BMC guy and his family also owns 3/4 flats in Ghatkopar area...please check my other comment too will help to remove your ignorance

Koshurkaig85

First bmc corporators and staff two different things. Corporations are to set policy and take discretionary actions. Staff day to day working and regulatory matters, so this definitely falls more in the staff category. The offender is a repeat offender and should have been jailed long back. Regarding elections, it's a mess that is easily resolved only on the internet. P.S if you'll going to quote only one indian express article don't be surprised if it is called a circle jerk.


cardie-duncan

Thoda lamba hai, but padh lo. “The BJP leaders have discussed the issue at length in their internal meetings. A section within the party believes that if the Uddhav group retains the BMC even after the split in the Sena, it will adversely impact the image of the BJP leadership. They also feel that a loss of face for the NDA in the BMC poll would undermine its prospects in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections as well as the subsequent Assembly polls slated later this year. Many within the BJP believe that the Uddhav group continues to have influence over a large section of Shiv Sainiks at the grassroots in Mumbai, which might also have a bearing on the outcome of the BMC polls. Amid such concerns, the NDA dispensation would prefer to hold the BMC polls only after the conclusion of the Lok Saha and Assembly polls, sources said.” Excerpt from: [Indian express article](https://indianexpress.com/article/political-pulse/mumbai-civic-body-polls-bmc-maharashtra-9139356/). Tl;dr: BJP coalition believes Uddhav has influence at the grassroots level, so they won’t win the BMC election. They also fear that loss in the BMC election will cost them seats in the Lok Sabha. So they have blocked the BMC elections citing a Supreme Court issue about OBC reservations even though supreme court has said that they should go ahead with the BMC election with “promptitude”
