The fight in the Mumbai North West Lok Sabha constituency, which falls in the western suburbs, is between the Shiv Sena Eknath Shinde faction and Mahayuti candidate Ravindra Waikar versus the Maha Vikad Aghadi (MVA) and Shiv Sena UBT candidate Amol Kirtikar. People living in this constituency have expressed the desire for an MP who would complete pending infrastructure projects and address issues of traffic, encroached footpaths, prevent further encroachments and tackle the water logging problem faced by some low-lying areas in the constituency.
