As Mumbai`s election day draws near, members of the Bangur Nagar Residents Association in Goregaon West have announced plans to boycott the polls, citing concerns over the encroachment of an open space in their area that have not been addressed by any political party. The area falls under the Mumbai North West Lok Sabha constituency. Shiv Sena (UBT) and Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) candidate Amol Kirtikar is up against Ravindra Waikar, the Shinde Sena candidate who recently switched allegiances to the Eknath Shinde faction.
