Worli is witnessing a tough contest in the ongoing election, with the incumbent Shiv Sena (UBT) MLA Aaditya Thackeray facing a serious challenge from Milind Deora, who recently joined Shiv Sena after leaving the Congress party. The seat, part of the South Mumbai Lok Sabha constituency, has traditionally been a stronghold of Shiv Sena, and Aaditya Thackeray has significant public support in the area. However, Milind Deora, a well-known figure in South Mumbai and a former Member of Parliament for the constituency, is posing a tough challenge. Also in the fray is Sandeep Deshpande of the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS), led by Raj Thackeray, who shares family ties with the Thackeray clan. As of 11:38 am, according to Election Commission of India (ECI) trends, Deora has managed to narrow the gap significantly, making the race even more intense. The competition between Aaditya Thackeray and Milind Deora remains tight, and the outcome is expected to change as the trends continue to come in.
