Anant (Bala) Bhiku Nar, Shiv Sena (UBT)

How do you view your competition against Manisha Waikar, the wife of Ravindra Waikar, who has represented the constituency three times as an MLA and is currently the Mumbai North West MP?
A public representative earns their position based on the work they’ve done personally. As an MLA and now MP, Ravindra Waikar is well-known to the people. However, I believe Manisha Waikar lacks experience in politics and social work. I have been serving this area for 35 years as a loyal Shiv Sainik, and my association with Uddhav Thackeray has shaped who I am today—everything I have achieved is due to my party. I am confident that the people will fully support me.

The previous MLA may have had the people’s expectations, but unfortunately, they were not taken into confidence, leading to dissatisfaction. I have a personal connection and open dialogue with every voter in my constituency, and I am committed to seeking their guidance to address and resolve the issues once I am elected.
