Sitting BJP MLA and Lok Sabha candidate for Mumbai North East Mihir Kotecha says his focus in the region will remain on development, stopping PAPs, shifting dumping ground, building Mulund Terminus and a state-of-the-art sports complex in the area. Kotecha said the political equations in Maharashtra had changed for the better as Uddhav Thackeray who decided to breach trust and align with Congress leaving Balasaheb Thackeray's ideology will have to pay. Excerpts from mid-day’s conversation with the leader:

Are the BJP and Mahayuti confident given the changing political equations and new alignments?
Yes. The political equations in Maharashtra have changed for the better. We are all very confident like never before and will cross the 400 mark and come back to power with a thumping majority.
