With four days left for the fifth and final phase of the Lok Sabha election in Maharashtra, candidates from the Mahayuti and Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) alliances in the Mumbai North Central constituency are in top gear ahead of polling.
They have been conducting rallies and campaigning vigorously in Bandra, Vile Parle, Chandivali, Kalina, and Kurla in the city to sway voters with their poll promises. BJP’s Ujjwal Nikam is highlighting national issues and relying on Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s track record, while Congress’s Varsha Gaikwad, four-time MLA from Asia’s largest slum-cluster Dharavi, is canvassing support with local issues as a focal point.
During his rallies and ‘Know Your MP’ segment speeches, Mr. Nikam, a known figure in legal circles who served as a government counsel in the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks case, was seen talking about the Prime Minister’s vision for the country, national security, comments by Congress leader Vijay Wadettiwar on the 26/11 attacks, and legislative efforts in India.
