A political dispute emerged in Mumbai between Shiv Sena (UBT) and the BJP regarding the naming of the new East-West Vidyavihar bridge.
Shiv Sena (UBT) activists placed a banner demanding the bridge be named “Padma Shri Nana Patekar Setu”.
BJP MLA Parag Shah had previously proposed naming the bridge after international commercial pilot Smit Machchhar.
