Amit Thackeray, entering the political arena, aims to secure victory in Mahim for the Maharashtra elections. As Raj Thackeray's son, he follows the family's political footsteps. This marks a continuation of the family's impactful legacy in the state's political landscape.
His cousin, Aaditya Thackeray, previously succeeded in the 2019 assembly elections. The Thackeray influence permeates Maharashtra's political corridors, as evidenced by Uddhav Thackeray's leadership roles.
The Mahim seat, historically a stronghold of the Shiv Sena or MNS, underscores Amit's challenging yet significant entry. As part of its strategy, MNS announced its candidates for 16 Mumbai seats, creating notable electoral buzz.
