Against the backdrop of former Union minister Milind Deora quitting the Congress, Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut on January 14 said there would be no compromise on the South Mumbai Lok Sabha seat. Mr. Deora had recently expressed disapproval at the Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena (UBT) laying claim to the South Mumbai Lok Sabha seat.
The undivided Shiv Sena's Arvind Sawant, now with the Thackeray faction, had defeated Mr. Deora from the constituency in the 2014 and 2019 general elections. "Sawant is a two-time MP. What is wrong with him contesting again? There will be no compromise on this," Mr. Raut asserted.
