Shiv Sena had already started its poll campaign ahead of 2019 Maharashtra assembly elections and had tried to keep an upper hand in its alliance with Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for the assembly polls which are scheduled on October 21.
Meanwhile, as per the media reports, Mumbai Mayor, and Shiv Sena leader, Vishwanath Mahadeshwar is likely to contest assembly elections from Bandra East constituency. BJP has left the Bandra East assembly seat for Sena to field its candidate.
