Lok Sabha Elections 2024: Not best bets, BJP's Ujjwal Nikam, Congress's Varsha Gaikwad in close race

In Mumbai North Central, a hotly contested Lok Sabha seat, BJP's Ujjwal Nikam faces off against Congress's Varsha Gaikwad. Nikam, known for his role in high-profile cases like the Mumbai terrorist attacks, was a surprise BJP candidate. Gaikwad, the Mumbai Congress president, shifted from her preferred seat due to Shiv Sena's demand for a different candidate. With significant Marathi, Muslim, and other voter blocs, the election outcome is uncertain, highlighting the complex dynamics of Mumbai's political landscape.
