Mumbai has gone to the pits, croons RJ Malishka again!

In the last two months, various accidents in the city and suburbs due to potholes have claimed lives of around half a dozen people. Mumbai Congress has launched a campaign to mock BMC on potholes.

Mumbai: Popular RJ Malishka Mendonsa has yet again created a video to purportedly mock the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) for not being able to end water-logging woes and leaving pot-holes exposed in the metropolis during monsoon. The latest song ‘Geli Geli Mumbai Khadyat’ is a parody of the runway Marathi hit song ‘’ Zingaat’ that pokes fun at the potholed roads and the city getting submerged under heavy rains. The 3:07 minute song was shared on Malishka's Facebook page.  However, the song does not have mentioning of ‘BMC’ in it but appears to be targeted at it. (WATCH BELOW) Her last year’s song" Mumbai tula BMC var bharosa nai ka (Mumbai, don't you have faith in BMC)" in Marathi was uploaded on YouTube, In the song, Malishka also took a swipe at potholed roads and delays in suburban trains, besides taking a dig at the corporation and other authorities over the problems of traffic jams during the rains. The video went viral on social media inviting the BMC and Sena’s ire. The corporation which took umbrage with the video then filed a defamation suit against her and also issued a notice to her after mosquitoes were found breeding at her house in suburban Bandra. In the last two months, various accidents in the city and suburbs due to potholes have claimed lives of around half a dozen people. Mumbai Congress has launched a campaign to mock BMC on potholes. The BMC is ruled by the Shiv Sena and BJP in Mumbai. Last week, CM Devendra Fadnavis said a number of potholes in Mumbai during monsoon had come down drastically. He had reportedly also said that the civic body has started using an upgraded cold mix technology to fill potholes during rainy season.
