It is going to a tug-of-war election. It is like a fight for legacy between the two Sena brothers. The winner will be the real owner of Shiv Sena and legacy of the man called Tiger. They will be the inheritors of the legacy of Bal Thackerey.
Will the Thackerays win or the Shinde will takeover has to be seen.
Right now it is a tough fight we can say.
The BJP is with Shinde and it makes all the difference. Fire works have already started even before Diwali. Keen contest will be seen in all the constituencies.
The Shiv Sena led by Chief Minister Eknath Shinde nominated Rajya Sabha member Milind Deora against ex-CM Uddhav Thackeray’s son and Shiv Sena (UBT) nominee Aaditya Thackeray from Mumbai’s Worli in the coming assembly polls.
Mr Deora, a former Congress leader and Union minister of state, joined the Sena before the Lok Sabha polls this year and was subsequently elected to the Rajya Sabha.
Mr Shinde’s decision to pit Mr Deora against incumbent MLA and former state minister Aaditya Thackeray will make Worli a high-voltage contest.
