The Worli Assembly constituency - number 182 - has emerged as a significant political landscape, especially with Aaditya Thackeray, the 34-year-old Shiv Sena (UBT) leader, serving as its representative. Aaditya is the first member of the Thackeray family to contest and win an election. The constituency, a vibrant mix of communities, is predominantly populated by the Koli community and has become a significant political base for the young leader.
Since its establishment in 1962, Worli has seen 13 elections, with various parties occupying the MLA seat. Of these, the Shiv Sena has won six terms. In the 2019 election, Aaditya defeated Advocate (Dr) Suresh Mane of the NCP by a significant margin of 67,427 votes, securing 89,248 votes and a 69.14% share of the total vote.
However, a recent report by Praja Foundation, which evaluates the performance of Mumbai's elected representatives, ranked Aaditya 29th overall.
Aaditya's performance in the 2024 MLA audit reflects a mixed record. While he holds the top spot with a #1 rank for maintaining a clean criminal record, his participation in legislative activities leaves much to be desired. His attendance is ranked at 31, and his involvement in raising questions and their overall quality are both ranked at 32. These highlight a need for improvement in his legislative engagement, despite his otherwise clean image.
