Lad stated, “Amit Thackeray is our son. We will campaign for him and ensure his victory.” He also referred to Sarvankar as a senior leader and the president of the Siddhivinayak Temple, hinting that Chief Minister Eknath Shinde might provide Sarvankar with an opportunity in the Legislative Council, which could lead him to consider withdrawing his candidacy.
Lad further noted that they would support MNS, acknowledging past assistance from the party. Amit Thackeray, son of MNS chief Raj Thackeray, will face stiff competition from sitting MLA Sada Sarvankar and Mahesh Sawant from the Shiv Sena (Thackeray faction). Amit's entry into the race has garnered support from several leaders within the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA). Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has also expressed his support for Thackeray.
When asked about the possibility of withdrawing from the race, Sarvankar reiterated that there was no question of backing out. In an interview with a news channel, he emphasized the public's desire for Eknath Shinde to continue as chief minister, suggesting that MNS candidates should step back in the interest of the alliance. Sarvankar stated, “I am ready to sacrifice for the party.”
The Maharashtra Vikas Aghadi (MVA) is a prominent political alliance in Maharashtra, comprising the Indian National Congress (INC), the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP), and the Shiv Sena. The alliance has been a significant force in the state's political landscape, often challenging the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and its allies.
The MNS, led by Raj Thackeray, has been a key player in the politics of Maharashtra, particularly in Mumbai. The party has a strong base among the Marathi-speaking population and has been vocal about issues related to the state's development and the welfare of its residents. The support of BJP MLC Prasad Lad for MNS candidate Amit Thackeray could potentially tilt the balance in the Mahim constituency, making the upcoming election even more competitive.
