Raj Thackeray's Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) is set to contest 25 out of 36 Assembly seats in Mumbai, challenging both BJP and Shiv Sena (Eknath Shinde) in key constituencies. This move raises concerns for the ruling coalition as MNS targets BJP and Shiv Sena seats, including Mahim, Worli, and Sewree, where intense competition is expected. With Maharashtra polls on November 20 and results on November 23, analysts suggest MNS’s entry could split votes, impacting the ruling Mahayuti coalition and the opposition MVA. Notably, MNS avoided challenging prominent BJP leaders like Rahul Narwekar and Ashish Shelar.
