Worli will see a three-way battle between Shiv Sena UBT’s Aaditya Thackeray, Shiv Sena leader Milind Deora and MNS leader Shubham Deshpande. Will Uddhav Thackeray’s son manage to retain his seat this time?

Mumbai: Shiv Sena (UBT) scion and party chief Uddhav Thackeray's son Aaditya Thackeray retained his Worli assembly constituency but saw a major dip in margin at 8,801, down from the massive margin of 67,

He previously held key positions within the Government of India, notably as the Minister of State for Communications & Information and Technology and Shipping in the second Manmohan Singh ministry. He is currently in the Shiv Sena party which he joined after quitting the Congress party in January 2024.

While Aaditya Thackeray from the Uddhav camp entered the fray to lay claim to the seat once again, Milind Deora from the Shinde faction came to give a fight.  However, after a see-saw contest, Thackeray clinched the seat once again leaving Deora biting the dust.

Deora was chosen to contest from high-profile seat because Shinde did not want Thackeray to have a cakewalk, it is learnt. Thackeray's margin has come down drastically from 2019.

In the 2019 Maharashtra assembly election, Aditya Thackeray polled over 69 per cent votes, defeating NCP's Suresh Mane.

What Happens when two young political stalwarts, both carrying their fathers' legacies, clash? Sparks fly. That's what's happening in Maharashtra's Worli Assembly constituency where Shiv Sena-UBT's Aaditya Thackeray and Shiv Sena (Eknath Shinde) leader Milind Deora are fighting for supremacy.
