Mumbai, Oct 04: In a late-night development, the NCP decided to field a candidate from the Worli constituency where Aditya Thackeray is contesting the elections from.

This is an indicator that politics has come a long way in Maharashtra. Back in 2006, when NCP leader, Sharad Pawar's daughter was contesting her first election Rajya Sabha elections, Balasaheb Thackeray had said that he would not be fielding a candidate against her. I am proud that the daughter of Maharashtra would be going to Delhi, he had famously said.

Aditya Thackeray

Now, the NCP has fielded Suresh Mane from Worli from where Aditya would be contesting his first election. Aditya is also the first Thackeray to contest an election. It was perceived that the NCP would return the favour that the Shiv Sena had done for Supriya Sule and not field a candidate against Aditya.

The Shiv Sena, however, is not perturbed by this development and says that Aditya will win hands down. Another reason why the Shiv Sena is not worried is because they have Sachin Ahir in their fold. Ahir was former with the NCP and was always a tough competition for the Shiv Sena. Moreover, the Shiv Sena decided to field Aditya from Worli because it is considered to be the safest seat for the party.
