The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in Mumbai has successfully passed a proposal to transfer a civic-owned plot in Wadala for housing redevelopment, following a previous setback where opposition parties, including the Shiv Sena (UBT) and Congress, outvoted the ruling Mahayuti alliance. The proposal was cleared with 112 votes in favor and 89 against, framed as an urgent bill, which requires a three-fourths majority for approval. This contrasts with ordinary proposals that only need a simple majority. Previously, on April 29, the proposal failed to pass due to insufficient attendance and unified opposition votes. The redevelopment plan aims to replace existing housing tenements occupied by municipal workers and families of traditional mill workers with new housing units. BJP corporator Ganesh Khankar emphasized the proposal's significance for public interest and city development, while opposition leaders expressed concerns over the bill's expedited nature and questioned its alignment with public needs.
