Mumbai: The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has slapped a notice on RJ Malishka mother’s apartment in Bandra, after dengue breeding spots were discovered at the premises. The notice, which was sent to the RJ’s mother, Mrs Lily Mendonsa on Wednesday, warned of legal action. Of course, this comes close on the heels of Malishka’s widely watched video in which she slammed the civic body for the sorry state of city roads and not many believe that it is a coincidence.
“Taking revenge by sending notice is wrong and absurd. It’s absolutely the wrong way to deal with the Malishka jingle on civic issues; the jingle should have rather been handled in the rightful manner. The BMC shouldn’t have acted like this,” said Congress corporators Ravi Raja, who is the leader of the opposition in the civic house. “In a democratic set-up, if the right views are expressed in a proper manner, then it should be taken as a suggestion by the BMC rather than taking revenge,” he said.
BMC officials say that dengue mosquitoes were found breeding among the indoor plants in the RJ’s sixth floor apartment.
Tit for Tat
- This move by the BMC comes close on the heels of Malishka’s widely watched video in which she slammed the civic body for the sorry state of city roads and not many believe that it is a coincidence.
- Two Shiv Sena councillors were incensed by the lyrics in the video, Mumbai tula BMC var bharosa nahi ka (Mumbai don’t you have faith in BMC). One of the councillor had demanded that the civic chief file a '500 crore defamation suite against the RJ’s radio network.
