Tamil Selvan streets ahead of others, say Sion-Koliwada voters

Selvan was a corporator before being elected as an MLA twice, in 2014 and 2019; keepsintouch with electorate, say people

All eyes of the Tamil population of Mumbai are on the Sion-Koliwada assembly constituency where two T amilians are pitted against each other. The sitting MLA is Capt Tamil Selvan, 64, of the BJP. He is being opposed by Ganesh Yadav, 33, of the Congress. Tamil Selvan, who was also a corporator earlier, has a distinct advantage over Yadav as he was elected twice in the past from the same constituency (2014 and 2019), which has a large number of slums, dilapidated buildings and a few new towers.
