“Let me make it clear we have no opposition to Savarkar. It’s just that no document or noting has been made about the naming of the bridge,” he said.

According to Bhujbal, the process of tenders, design and contract award was completed after the Congress-NCP government came to power in 1999.

“Even we have been talking about the Nhava-Sheva link but nothing has materialised it. If we announce that the link should be named after someone, will it be? It doesn’t work that way,” said Bhujbal.

Meanwhile, the Sena pointed out that MLAs have free access to highways and bridges in states, and MPs to such structures across the country. “The sea link is located in Mumbai so why shouldn’t city corporators get a toll-free ride,” said Sena corporator Ravindra Waikar. Rejection will be met with a Sena type “non-cooperation”, the party warned.
