The Assembly elections will be held in the state in the next few days. Election code of conduct is likely to be passed within a month. Against this backdrop, all the political parties have started preparing for the elections.
MNS president Raj Thackeray had said a few days ago that he will contest 225-250 seats in the Legislative Assembly. Meanwhile, it seems that Raj Thackeray's MNS has focused its special attention on the Worli assembly constituency. There is a discussion in the political circle that Sandeep Deshpande of MNS can be fielded in the election fray from Worli.

It is being said that Sandeep Deshpande may contest elections against
Shiv Sena UBT MLA Aaditya Thackeray. Residents of Worli as well as activists of some social organisations met Raj Thackeray. In this background, these discussions have gained more momentum. Meanwhile, in the recently held Lok Sabha elections, the UBT group did well and won 9 seats. The Maha Vikas Aghadi defeated the Maha Yuti. So Uddhav Thackeray and Aaditya Thackeray are ready to face any challenge. In such a situation, if MNS nominates Sandeep Deshpande of MNS, Marathi votes may be divided and might affect Aaditya Thackeray votes.
