Uddhav govt move for 300 MLA flats under fire

Mumbai is a city where even if one manages to get a job, it’s difficult to get a house to live in. The wish of millions in this metropolis to have their own house is a dream that not always gets fulfilled. Now, a decision by the state government has revived this wound.

The Uddhav Thackeray government has announced plans to build 300 houses for the MLAs who come from rural areas. Maharashtra Housing and Area Development Authority (MHADA) will build this residential complex which will have High Income Group (HIG) flats.

The state government has said that for MLAs coming from out of Mumbai, it is a big challenge to buy or rent flats in Mumbai. The MLAs cannot afford to pay high rent. So, all the MLAs barring from Mumbai, Thane and Navi Mumbai, will get flats in the new complex, the state government has announced.

At present, the state Vidhan Sabha (Legislative Assembly) has 288 and the Vidhan Parishad (Legislative Council) has 78 members and thus there are a total of 366 MLAs. The number of MLAs coming from Mumbai and adjoining areas are between 54 to 60. So, the government has decided to build HIG flats for 300 MLAs in Goregaon. The land on which these flats are to be built is in possession of the MHADA.

The MLAs of the state are not happy with this decision of the state government and view this project as a ploy to stop them from changing their sides. And some are raising fingers at this decision of the state government. A report prepared by Association for Democratic Reforms (ADR) after the 2019 elections, says that out of the 288 MLAs of the state, 264 (93%) are millionaires.
