In a major political move, Milind Deora, recently aligned with Chief Minister Eknath Shinde’s Shiv Sena, is set to contest the Worli assembly seat, taking on Aaditya Thackeray of Shiv Sena (UBT). Deora, formerly with the Congress, announced his candidacy on social media, stating the need for “justice for Worli.”
Thackeray, who won the seat in 2019, faces a tough triangular race, with Maharashtra Navnirman Sena’s (MNS) Sandeep Deshpande also in the fray. This contest has captured attention, with political alliances and shifting loyalties adding to the drama. Deora’s move to Shiv Sena after feeling sidelined in Congress adds further intrigue to this closely watched battle.
Both Thackeray and Deora bring significant political clout, while Deshpande represents the rising influence of the MNS. This high-profile contest is set to reshape Worli’s political landscape, with both Thackeray and Deora looking to secure their positions amid growing electoral challenges.
