Deora was chosen to contest from high-profile seat because Shinde did not want Thackeray to have a cakewalk, it is learnt. Thackeray's margin has come down drastically from 2019.
Former Congress MP Milind Deora also criticises ‘speed-breaker’ politics, adds that there is an unspoken rule within the MVA to oppose anything that a few business leaders do.
Milind Deora hints at his candidacy for Worli seat, a Shiv Sena stronghold. It sets up a potential clash with Aaditya Thackeray, who debuted and won from the assembly segment in 2019.
Around 200 fishing families in Worli Koliwada are protesting construction of pillars at sea near Cleveland Bunder. They say gap between them should be 200 m, BMC says 60 m enough.
Worli assembly seat, from where Aaditya Thackeray is set to contest, is a mix of high-rises, plush offices and slums. Sena has lost just once here in 30 yrs.
RJD, once a prominent representative of Mandal politics, now finds itself in a political era where welfare, good governance, and new aspirations are overshadowing old caste equations.
Without a Congress revival, there can be no challenge to the BJP pan-nationally. Modi’s party is growing, and almost entirely at the cost of the Congress.
