During the ongoing Lok Sabha elections, a rally supporting Uddhav Thackeray's Shiv Sena was held in Bandra near the Middle Income Group Club. Numerous individuals encountered traffic disruptions as a result of the rally. Four buses packed with Shiv Sena (UBT) supporters were a significant contributing factor to the traffic congestion.

At the rally, a Mid-Day reporter interviewed a participant who expressed a nuanced view on political allegiance. When questioned about his preferred party, he stated that he harboured no allegiance to any specific political faction. He emphasised that his support would be contingent upon any party's commitment to enhancing the quality of life. "If any party helps us in upgrading our lifestyle in the future, we'll take care of them," he remarked. However, he also asserted that should any party undermine their prospects, they would take necessary action to hold the party accountable.
