The vacant MLA seat after the demise of sitting MLA Bala Sawant will to polls on April 11th. On the last round up of campaigning each party has intensified its respective rallies.
The Congress was supported by heavyweight NCP Leader Sharad Pawar. Shiva Sena pulled in Devendra Fandavis and other ministers.
MIM has brought its senior leaders at its last attempt to woo voters.
However the local people of Bandra East do not see much hope from anyone of them. Sanjay Rane is too big a leader to be understood by the slum dwellers. The Muslim community do not relate much to MIM.
Shiva Sena candidate Mrs Bala Sawant does have the experience in Politics. Shiva Sena is completely banking on the sympathy vote. The deceased Bala Sawant was a well respected and loved leader by the people. He adddressed to local problems and nver let down anybody who cam to him for help.
As per local residents Shiva Sena is the strongest contender.
