In the Mumbai Congress, the two Assembly constituencies have seen fierce competition for party tickets. One of them is Dharavi (SC), which is connected with the party city president Varsha Gaikwad, and the other is Versova, where many Muslim aspirants have applied for nomination.

The Congress will be contesting the Assembly elections in alliance with the Shiv Sena (UBT), Nationalist Congress Party (Sharad Pawar) and Samajwadi Party. There are 36 seats in the city, of which the Sena (UBT) is expected to demand 18-20, the Congress 12-14 and NCP (SP) and SP 1-2 each. Once the single largest party in the city, the Congress went down drastically since the 2014 elections, but a resurgence in the recent Lok Sabha polls has given it confidence and hope in Mumbai and the rest of Maharashtra. Mumbai`s scene is unfolding gradually as the elections approach.
