After weeks of deliberations, the Congress on Thursday announced its Mumbai unit chief and Dharavi MLA Varsha Gaikwad as the party candidate from Mumbai North Central constituency. At present, the seat is represented by Bharatiya Janata Party’s Poonam Mahajan but the ruling alliance has not yet announced its candidate.
“The party has given me a responsibility to win Mumbai North Central. I want to assure my leadership that I will fight to win. This constituency has been a Congress fort for many terms and we have won it several times. We will win it again in 2024,” said Varsha Gaikwad.
