Mumbai, Mar 23 (UNI) Shiv Sena (UBT) MLA Aaditya Thackeray has demanded for a probe by Economic Offences Wing into alleged Mumbai road construction scam.

"Today I have written a letter to the Chief Minister. In that, I have demanded that the road scam 2023-24 be investigated by EOW... On January 15, 2023, I had exposed the road scam," Aaditya told reporters here on Saturday.

He said that during ongoing budget session of the Maharashtra Assembly when Mumbai road condition issue was being discussed, MLAs from both sides in the assembly have held the scam responsible for the condition of Mumbai roads at present.

He also said that Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation has claimed that 26 percent of work has been done, but it has not been done, due to which EOW should investigate the case.

"Yesterday, people from both sides of the House, whether they are MLAs of the ruling party or the opposition party, had the same thing to say: that the condition of Mumbai today is because of this scam... BMC claims that 26 percent of the work has been done, but I believe that even 26 percent of the work has not been done. EOW should investigate this entire matter; this is my demand," he added.
