Poll preparation: Sena UBT appoints coordinators for 18 Lok Sabha seats

MLA Vilas Potnis has been given the responsibility of Mumbai North West LS constituency, while Datta Dalvi has been given the responsibility of North East LS constituency, Ravindra Mirlekar of Mumbai South Central and Sudhir Salvi and Satywan Dubey of Mumbai South LS constituency.

According to the party functionary, the party has started preparing for Lok Sabha elections and has appointed coordinators in those constituencies where it feels has strong candidate and voter base to field its own candidate. The functionary said that the Sena UBT staked claim on 23 seats and the coordinators for the remaining seats would possibly be appointed in a couple of days.

Last week, the Sena UBT is said to have finalised 11 candidates for the Lok Sabha polls that included in Mumbai.

“Candidates have been shortlisted by the party leadership, however, the names would be officially announced once the seat-sharing talks are over with the MVA alliance partners,” the functionary added.

In the 2019 Lok Sabha polls, the undivided Sena contested on 23 seats in an alliance with the BJP and won 18 seats. This year, however, the Sena UBT would be contesting elections in an alliance with Congress and NCP — Sharadchandra Pawar.
