Maha News | An intriguing electoral battle is unfolding in Mumbai

Hindustan Times  

With the announcement of two Shiv Sena candidates and one Congress candidate, the picture of the contest in Mumbai was finally clear on Tuesday evening. Out of six constituencies in the city, Shiv Sena will contest four seats, while chief minister Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena and its alliance partner, the Bharatiya Janata Party, will contest three each. The ruling alliance partners, Shiv Sena and the BJP took a long time to decide which seats each of the two would contest and who would be fielded as candidates. In Mumbai south central, which is spread from Shivaji Park to Dharavi to slums in eastern suburbs, the contest between sitting MP Shewale and Thackeray faction’s Anil Desai could be a close fight. With the emergence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the national stage, the BJP-Shiv Sena combine dominated Mumbai in Lok Sabha polls by winning all six seats in the 2014 and 2019 elections.
