The death toll from the warehouse collapse rose to 16, with two more bodies recovered from the rubble.
NCP (SP) supremo Sharad Pawar and Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut criticized the BJP over the Prime Minister’s roadshow.

“The roadshow shows how insensitive the Bharatiya Janata Party is,” Raut said, adding that the ruling Maha Yuti will do badly in the elections.

“While the families of those who lost their lives in the tragic billboard collapse accident in Ghatkopar grieved, they continued party leader Narendra Modi ji’s roadshow in the same vicinity, adding salt to the wounds of Mumbaikars. “In addition, the Bharatiya Janata Party has canceled metros, local trains and blocked roads in the area to allow smooth passage to the roadshow,” said NCP national spokesperson Clyde Crust. .
“Why did Metro Rail and local trains come to a standstill? As seen in the available footage, this stoppage could have put the lives of commuters at risk due to overcrowding. The Maharashtra government should give an immediate explanation to the Mumbaikars, perhaps by forcing people to walk home along the ‘roadshow’ route, as large crowds are taking part in ‘Modi’s roadshow’. It was probably a clever and skillful move to make it visually appealing. ”
“It shows the insensitivity of the BJP that it continues the roadshow despite the loss of 16 lives and many injuries, causing inconvenience to thousands of commuters. It will be the ‘nemesis’ of all the Lok Sabha state candidates of the party, ‘Mumbai ally,”’ he said.
