The maharashtra Assembly elections are scheduled to be held on november 20, 2024 and this time the political atmosphere is quite heated, especially in the Worli constituency of Mumbai. Discussions are being held on the background of the main candidates in this election, Milind Deora and aditya thackeray, and the importance of the contest between them. This contest on the Worli seat is not only important for local politics, but it can also influence the political direction of Maharashtra.
Political background
The upcoming election is very important for both the ruling coalition (Shiv Sena Shinde + BJP) and the opposition. chief minister Eknath Shinde has fielded veteran leader and current rajya sabha MP Milind Deora to contest from Worli against shiv sena (UBT) leader Aditya Thackeray. This contest has become a topic of discussion across the country not only because of the political background of the candidates but also because of the historical context of the area.
Why is Worli so important?
Worli has always been Aditya Thackeray's stronghold. In the last elections, he had a lead of only 67000 votes over his rivals. The area comprises middle class Maharashtrians, affluent residents and fishermen, making it politically diverse. Milind Deora's entry into the election makes the contest even more interesting. His candidature was announced a day after aditya thackeray filed his nomination papers, making the election atmosphere even more heated. Deora's experience and his former government roles can prove to be important in his election strategy.
