Kicking off the Assembly election season, local leaders who have been active in their areas throw their hat in the ring

Tukaram Patil, former corporator of Shiv Sena (UBT); Upendra Sawant, former corporator, Shiv Sena; Vinod Mishra, former BJP party leader in the BMC; Shraddha Jadhav, former mayor and six-time corporator; Ravi Raja, five-time corporator from Sion Koliwada
Around 10 former corporators who were voted to power in the 2017 Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) election are hoping to get tickets for the coming Assembly election. In the 2019 Assembly poll, five of the 11 corporators in the fray became legislators. Shraddha Jadhav, the seniormost of the corporators and former mayor, said she was willing to contest from the Wadala constituency. She had contested the Assembly poll from the Naigaon seat in 2005.
The Shiv Sena (UBT) leader is a six-time corporator from Parel. “For the Assembly election, the party will take the final call,” Jadhav said.
