In a fervent lead-up to the Maharashtra Assembly Elections, Aaditya Thackeray and Milind Deora engage in a public debate challenge over pivotal civic issues. As rival candidates in the Worli constituency, their exchanges underscore broader political tensions and the dynamics between major alliances and opposition coalitions.

The political temperature is rising in Maharashtra as Aaditya Thackeray and Milind Deora lock horns over the future of Worli. In a dramatic lead-up to the Maharashtra Assembly Elections, both leaders are calling for open debates, stirring substantial interest across the state.

On Wednesday, Thackeray and Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy paid a visit to the Tirupati Balaji Temple in Worli, and then launched a dynamic roadshow. The rivalry between Thackeray, an incumbent MLA, and Deora, an influential figure in the Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena, has become the focal point in Mumbai's Worli constituency.

Deora has openly challenged Thackeray to a head-to-head debate addressing significant local concerns like mismanagement in the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation and transportation delays. Thackeray, backed by his social media clout, condemned the cancellation of debate events, hinting at political motives and questioning the integrity of public discourse.
