MLA Ganesh Naik Opposes Inclusion of Villages in Navi Mumbai
A politician named Ganesh Naik is against the idea of adding 14 villages to the Navi Mumbai city.
These villages were once part of Navi Mumbai, but were removed because people didn't like the high property taxes.
The government later added them back in.
Naik says that adding these villages will cost the city a lot of money.
He has also mentioned that past projects faced cost overruns and questioned how public money is being used.
Naik is asking the people of Navi Mumbai to be careful, saying he will keep opposing the merger.
Ganesh Naik opposes the inclusion of 14 villages from Kalyan taluka into NMMC.
The villages were previously part of NMMC but were excluded due to property tax protests.
The government re-merged the villages during the Lok Sabha elections.
Naik claims the inclusion creates a financial burden of over Rs 6,000 crore.
Naik criticized the use of public money and delayed projects.
