As the fifth phase of Lok Sabha elections commenced, BJP candidate from Mumbai North Central, Ujjwal Nikam, urged all Mumbaikars to vote, considering it a festival in democracy. Nikam, known for his role as the prosecutor in the 26/11 Mumbai attacks case, expressed his intention to visit polling stations after a temple visit. The constituency, comprising six assembly segments, sees a contest between Nikam and Congress' Varsha Gaikwad, the Dharavi MLA. The state, with its 48 Lok Sabha seats, plays a significant role in the elections, with results expected on June 4.
