Banker Meera Sanyal, who fought the last elections as an Independent, is contesting again, this time as an Aam Aadmi Party candidate.
She says her experience as a banker will come in handy if she gets a chance to represent the constituency in Lok Sabha.
The recent Arvind Kejriwal road show in south Mumbai has energised Sanyal's campaign.
The AAP chief had kicked off his Lok Sabha campaign in Maharashtra with a ride on a suburban train to Churchgate and then took out a ‘Jhaadu Chalao Yatra' through south Mumbai streets.
MNS leader Nandgaonkar, who finished second against Deora last time, will be vying for the “Marathi manus” votes and dampening the chances of the Shiv candidate and former legislator Arvind Sawant.
