Overview

• Rohit Pawar delivered a nearly 12,000-page bundle to Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and gave the government two days to remove Sanjay Shirsat from the cabinet.
• Pawar alleges that, as CIDCO chairman, Shirsat enabled allotment of Navi Mumbai land valued around ₹5,000 crore to the Bivalkar family by bypassing procedures.
• He describes the dossier as including the family’s 1993 application, four CIDCO rejection orders from 1994, 1995 and 2010, Law and Judiciary reports, Urban Development communications, CIDCO resolutions and Supreme Court affidavits.
• Pawar contends the allotment occurred despite a pending Supreme Court matter, claims some parcels were sold to builders and urges freezing a 61,000 sq m plot and revocation of an 8,000 sq m grant.
• He further claims a March 1, 2025 directive set the allotment in motion, that the file moved through 30–32 desks in 48 hours and that CIDCO’s then MD opposed it before Shirsat cleared it; Shirsat has not issued a fresh response after earlier asking for proof.
