The stage is set for a high-stakes race in Mumbai's Worli assembly constituency, as Rajya Sabha member Milind Deora of the ruling Shiv Sena filed his nomination for Maharashtra Elections 2024 on Tuesday to challenge sitting Shiv Sena MLA Aaditya Thackeray (UBT).

Deora, a former Congress leader and Union Minister of State joined the Shiv Sena before of this year's Lok Sabha elections and was later elected to the Rajya Sabha. Despite having a six-year tenure remaining in the Rajya Sabha, Deora's candidature against Aaditya Thackeray, son of former Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray, has raised the stakes in Worli.
