The Sion Koliwada Assembly constituency, established in 2008 (Constituency 179), covers areas such as Pratiksha Nagar, Barkat Ali Road, Bhakti Park, Antop Hill, and Sion Koliwada. With 2,81,299 electors, the seat is part of the Mumbai South Central Lok Sabha constituency. Since 2019, Captain R Tamil Selvan of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has represented the constituency, but his performance has sparked increasing criticism ahead of the upcoming assembly elections.
According to Praja Foundation’s 2024 Mumbai report card, Tamil Selvan ranked 15th among MLAs, a drop from his 2023 position at 12th. While his attendance remained stellar, ranked 1, his score on other parameters, including the number and quality of questions raised in the assembly, showed significant declines. His criminal record saw an improvement, rising from 22nd to 17th in the rankings. However, his overall score fell from 59.60% in 2023 to 58.88% in 2024, marking a disappointing tenure after two terms in office.
