The Mumbai North East seat will witness a showdown between BJP’s Mihir Kotecha and Shiv Sena (UBT)’s Sanjay Dina Patil. The former, a sitting MLA, says his focus is on development while the latter, a former MP, claims work he had started is yet to be completed.

Shiv  Sena and Maha Vikas Aghadi candidate Sanjay Dina Patil said his priority remained to shut dumping grounds in North East constituency forever as the area had become Mumbai’s dump in the past ten years and that it was the local issues that mattered the most than anything else. He said he was a people’s worker and the mood on the ground has been in favour of MVA and Uddhav Thackeray.
