The North East constituency in Mumbai is witnessing a fierce contest between BJP’s sitting MLA Mihir Kotecha and Shiv Sena (UBT)’s Sanjay Dina Patil, a former MP. Kotecha emphasizes development, while Patil aims to complete projects he initiated earlier. Patil highlights his priority of shutting down dumping grounds in the area, which has become Mumbai’s dumping hub over the last decade. He believes local issues hold greater significance than national politics. Both candidates acknowledge the challenges faced by the constituency, including the presence of dumping grounds, the Dharavi PAP issue, and insufficient infrastructure. They express their commitment to addressing these issues and improving the lives of the residents.
