Congress has declared former Maharashtra government minister Varsha Gaikwad as its candidate from Mumbai North Central Lok Sabha seat. The Central Election Committee (CEC) of the Congress has fielded Mumbai Regional Congress Committee President Varsha from the North Central Lok Sabha seat. Bharatiya Janata Party has again given ticket to MP Poonam Mahajan on this seat in front of Varsha. After getting the candidature from Mumbai North Central, Varsha Gaikwad had a special conversation with India TV and she said – I wanted a ticket from South Central Mumbai but that seat went to Uddhav Thackeray’s Shiv Sena and Anil Desai was made the candidate there. I was definitely angry with the party but now I am happy after getting the candidature. Who will be the BJP candidate in front of me? I won’t pay much attention to this. I will just go among them with my ideology, my work and public issues.
Targeted Modi government, said- I will contest elections on public issues
Varsha further said that her father Eknath Gaikwad was an MP in 2004 and had defeated former CM Manohar Joshi in the elections. He reached Parliament after being elected as a giant killer. I live here among people. I am the Mumbai Congress President, I will get the support of the people and I will go among the people on local issues. Instead of discussing inflation, unemployment and real issues, BJP and Narendra Modi are doing politics of Hindu-Muslim and polarization. The Prime Minister talks about Mangalsutra but the Nehru Gandhi family has donated its wealth for the country. Rajiv Gandhi, Indira Gandhi gave martyrdom for the country. Why doesn’t Narendra Modi talk about those who died in Covid or those who died in demonetisation or the farmers who committed suicide? They just want to divert the issues.
This is how the seats have been distributed
Congress has made Varsha its candidate at a time when recently she had raised questions regarding seat sharing among the constituents of Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) in Mumbai. On April 11, he had said that the leadership of Maharashtra unit of Congress should have made better distribution of seats in Mumbai Metropolitan Region in the Lok Sabha elections. There should have been equal distribution of seats among the three components of Maha Vikas Aghadi. There are six Lok Sabha seats in Mumbai. As per the seat sharing agreement between the MVA allies, Mumbai (North), Mumbai (North-Central) have been allotted to the Congress, while the remaining four seats – Mumbai (South), Mumbai (South-Central), Mumbai ( North-East) and Mumbai (North-West) have gone to Shiv Sena (UBT). The MVA alliance in Maharashtra on Tuesday announced seat-sharing for the Lok Sabha elections, with Shiv Sena (UBT) winning a major share with 21 seats, while the Congress is contesting on 17 and Sharadchandra Pawar-led NCP on 10.
