The Maharashtra Assembly seems to have reached a new low with the ruling party as well as the Opposition deeply engrossed in arguing about what the correct height for the proposed Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Memorial off the Mumbai coast should be. Had they showed half the zeal and willingness to pour in taxpayer’s money into civic infrastructure, Mumbai would not be grinding to halt every monsoon. It is high time people pressure the political class to move away from optics and start confronting the real issues.
