MNS president Raj Thackeray’s son Amit Thackeray will be making his debut in the Assembly elections this year. The party announced his candidature from Mahim Tuesday night. For the neighbouring Worli, Sandeep Deshpande has been nominated.

It is to be seen what the two factions of the Shiv Sena do, especially in Mahim where Amit will be making his debut. In 2019, MNS had given a pass to Aaditya Thackeray’s first electoral battle in Worli. It is said that Uddhav Thackeray will reciprocate in Mahim this year. However, MNS has put up a strong candidate in the form of Deshpande in Worli.
