Mumbai South: A high-profile seat with big names on both sides of poll clashes
The high-profile Mumbai South Lok Sabha constituency, which saw the departure of former MP Milind Deora from the Congress to the Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena on Sunday, has largely remained with the Congress for most of the last six decades. The BJP has only twice in the period, since 1962 – in 1996, and 1999. However, if the Congress won the seat eight times in the 15 elections held between 1962 and 2014, the party lost it to the undivided Shiv Sena in 2014 and 2019.
