MUMBAI: The murder of a Shiv Sainik is a grim reminder of the rising neta-SRA builder nexus which has reached alarming proportions, especially within the suburbs, changing the cable struggle, stated analysts.
Observers stated the collection of Sena middle-rung functionaries—vibhag pramukhs and shakha pramukhs, as an example—taking part with builders on SRA schemes is high. Many Sena MLAs too have informally teamed up with builders to reap benefits of the slum scheme.
“Lure for cash prompts politicians to seal partnership with builders. The trick is to huddle slumdwellers or citizens of dilapidated chawls into apoorly constructed SRA rental, a pigeonhole, whilst the builder concentrates on towers which fetch huge cash,” stated Santosh Dhuri, MNS employee from central Mumbai.
Asked if he too was once a partner in an SRA undertaking, Dhuri laughed, “Sena staff have left not anything for us.” Builders prefer having Sena activists on board because the birthday celebration regulations BMC. “A Sena activist can pull strings, get permissions,” stated a retired civic official.
“There have been circumstances where Sainiks have helped builders modify SRA rental’s blueprint or achieve excess space and mint cash,” he stated, adding, “This is a version of extortion.”
In many circumstances, MLAs and corporators call for a minimum of 5% proportion within the scheme, it's learnt. With clout in wards, native netas play a key role in cementing the SRA deal between citizens and builder. But netas from time to time bear the brunt of a deal long past sour or competitors plotting to thwart a undertaking. “Sena faces the risk of dropping its men to SRA rivalries,” stated a partyman from the western suburbs.
