Mumbai The Shiv Sena, BJP and MNS corporators in the Sena-ruled BMC have asked the Congress-led Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) to send only officers who can speak Marathi to its headquarters for official work.
The row broke out at the civic improvements committee meeting on Thursday, in which officials from the development agency made a presentation on the proposed commercial exploitation of Metro station premises. The officials had made the presentation in Hindi and English.
“We have no problems if they make the presentation in other languages. But, when asked questions in Marathi, the officer told me to speak in Hindi,” said BJP corporator Manoj Kotak. “Why should I talk in Hindi when I always talk in Marathi? If the officer doesn’t understand our mother tongue, the MMRDA shouldn’t have sent him. ”
