The outfit has been protesting against the planning agency for the exorbitant price of houses constructed for the lower income group and economically weaker section. The Navi Mumbai unit of Maharashtra Navnirman Sena claimed that CIDCO has assured to send a proposal to the state government regarding reducing the price of houses constructed under the Mega Housing Scheme
In Diwali, CIDCO launched a housing scheme of 7849 houses for the economically weaker section (EWS) in the newly developed node Ulwe. These houses are constructed under Prime Minister Awas Yojana and they are based on Transit Oriented Development. However, the MNS raised questions about the price and the area of the house under LIG. In the second week of April, the party had also taken out a protest march in Seawoods against CIDCO calling it Bhikh Maga (begging) and demanded to bring down the price of its houses
