Yadav criticised the Shiv Sena-BJP for passing the proposal on keeping the eateries open 24X7 in haste in the standing committee yesterday saying that the panel was meant to discuss the issue of dilapidated buildings in the city and the BMC building collapse near Mazgaon dock last week that claimed 61 lives.
"The proposal was passed in the standing committee only to appease Yuva Sena president Aditya Thackeray," he alleged.
