The outcome of the 2024 Lok Sabha elections have given a major boost to the political career of Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray. Not only did the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA), of which the Shiv Sena (UBT) is an important component, win 29 of the 48 seats in the state (10 of these were won by Uddhav's party) but he has also captured the imagination of Mumbaikars. His Shiv Sena won three seats - Mumbai south, Mumbai south-central and Mumbai northeast. It almost clinched Mumbai northwest but, at the last moment, a recount was ordered which was carried out repeatedly; finally it was put out that Shiv Sena's Ravindra Waikar had won by 48 votes against UBT's Amol Kirtikar. Prime Minister Narendra Modi had held a massive rally at Shivaji Park and a big roadshow in the Mumbai stituency. But these failed northeast conto make sufficient political inroads.
