‘Central government-owned NBCC decided the cost for MLA hostel redevelopment’
The Maharashtra Congress on Sunday demanded an apology from the BJP for levelling “false” allegations of corruption against the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government in the State over the Manora MLA hostel project in Mumbai. On May 7, BJP legislator Atul Bhatkalkar had written to Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray, alleging a ₹300 crore scam in the redevelopment of Manora MLA hostel in south Mumbai, and said the cost had increased by 66%. Responding to the charges, State Congress spokesperson Sachin Sawant said in a statement, “The BJP’s lies are exposed as the Central government-owned National Buildings Construction Corporation Limited (NBCC) has decided the cost of the project for reconstruction of the Manora MLA Hostel.”
