Urmila Matondkar set to join Shiv Sena: Sanjay Raut

Urmila Matondkar set to join Shiv Sena: Sanjay Raut

Mumbai, Nov 30 (UNI) Actress Urmila Matondkar, who had contested the 2019 Lok Sabha elections on a Congress ticket will join the Shiv Sena on December 1 in the presence of CM Udhav Thackeray.
Party spokesperson Sanjay Raut said here today while talking to media persons.
Ms Matondkar was recently nominated by the Shiv Sena to the legislative council from the Governor’s quota.
She is likely to be tasked with reaching out to Mumbaikars, given her mass appeal and rapport with slum dwellers as well as those living in plush colonies, ahead of the ensuing elections to the BrihanMumbai Municipal Corporation, slated for 2022.
Sena insiders said that Matondkar’s entry would be crucial, given that the party has firmed up its plan to draw youths and the working class, apart from consolidating its traditional vote bank in the city.
CM Thackeray had already announced on the eve of Maha Vikas Aghadi government’s first anniversary that the Shiv Sena, NCP and Congress would contest the BMC elections in unison, to take on the BJP, which has already announced Mission Mumbai 2022 with a resolve to end the Shiv Sena’s reign over the civic body.
