All political parties have geared up for the upcoming assembly elections in Maharashtra. Now information is coming that Raj Thackeray-led Maharashtra Navnirman Sena may field its candidate against Shiv Sena (UBT) MLA Aditya Thackeray on the Worli assembly seat. MNS is likely to field Sandeep Deshpande from this seat.
On Saturday, Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) president Raj Thackeray met Chief Minister Eknath Shinde to discuss the problems of Worli. This meeting is important given the focus on concerns related to Worli.
According to the Chief Minister’s Office, after the meeting, Shinde has directed the officials to give priority to the issues of Worli. MNS leader Deshpande is actively raising the problems of Worli residents.
Notably, the MNS did not field any candidate from Worli in the 2019 assembly elections as Shiv Sena (UBT) chief and former CM Uddhav Thackeray’s son Aditya Thackeray was contesting his first election. Aditya, a first-time entrant in electoral politics, won by a margin of 62,247 votes without any strong opposition.
BJP and MNS increased their activism
Despite the victory of Shiv Sena (UBT), there has been a significant drop in the lead in the Worli assembly constituency during the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. Which the MNS is looking at as a potential opportunity. It is not clear whether the ruling alliance or MNS will contest the elections together. CM Shinde-led Shiv Sena and the ruling BJP are increasing their activism in the area by organizing programs in Worli to strengthen their presence.
MNS leader Sandeep Deshpande said that in the 2017 municipal elections, we (MNS) got around 30,000 to 33,000 votes from Worli. We have voters dedicated to MNS in this constituency. MNS claimed that Aditya Thackeray, the second-in-command in Shiv Sena (UBT) after his father Uddhav Thackeray, is not available to the common people.
Deshpande said, “The question here is of access. People need an MLA whom they can reach easily. It is not possible for people to reach the current MLA.
