Gaikwad would replace Milind Deora, who had earlier resigned from the post of Mumbai party chief.

The BJD and BSP extended their support to the stripping down of Article 370 in the Parliament yesterday when Home Minister Amit Shah put up a proposal to dilute the discriminatory provision in the state of Jammu and Kashmir.

Urmila Matondkar, who had unsuccessfully contested the Lok Sabha elections from the Mumbai North constituency, had written a letter dated May 16 to Mumbai Congress chief Milind Deora criticising the conduct of two close associates of Sanjay Nirupam.

Though Congress chose to skip the all-party meeting chaired by Modi to discuss the issue of 'One Nation One Poll', Mumbai Congress president Milind Deora appears to disagree with his party's view.

The returning officer has asked for suitable action against Milind Deora for his remarks. The Election Commission has sought a reply from the Congress candidate demanding an explanation from him on how he has not violated the MCC.

Senior Congress leader Milind Deora and candidate from South Mumbai released a video where several Industrialists were seen endorsing Deora, in stark contrast to Rahul Gandhi's stand attacking the business community and PM Modi
