Hours after the Shinde-led Sena announced her as its candidate, she joined the party in the presence of the Maharashtra Chief Minister and other party leaders.
Speaking to news agency ANI, Shaina NC said, “I have lived in South Mumbai all my life and I realize the challenges citizens face here, be it cluster development, local hygiene or open spaces. I am committed for the people of Mumbai.”
“I don't just want to be an MLA, I want to be their voice. I believe that the collective consciousness of the government, the legislature and the citizens must be shown in terms of good public service delivery. “I assure people that I do not have a PA, I answer all my calls and I will always be accessible and accountable to my citizens and all my constituents,” she added.
Mumbadevi constituency is part of the Mumbai Lok Sabha seat. Amin Patel of the Congress has been representing it in the Assembly since 2009.
Earlier, there were reports that BJP might field Shaina NC in Worli. But the Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena announced former Congress leader Milind Deora as its Worli candidate. He will now take on Shiv Sena (UBT) leader and Uddhav Thackeray's son Aaditya Thackeray.
